- 2 medium sweet potatoes (washed and peeled, if desired)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- ½ tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (optional)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (for extra flavor, optional)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Aim for uniform thickness (about 1.5 mm) to ensure even cooking.
- 2 Season the Slices
Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until all slices are evenly coated.
- 3 Arrange on a Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the slices in a single layer without overlapping to ensure even crisping.
- 4 Bake Until CrispyPreheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are crispy and lightly golden around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- 5 Cool and ServeRemove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. This helps them crisp up further. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. This helps them crisp up further. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they soften, re-crisp them in a low oven (150°C/300°F) for 5 minutes.
- Variation: Try different seasonings like cinnamon and sugar for a sweet version or cayenne pepper for extra spice.
- Thickness Tip: Slicing the sweet potatoes too thick may result in chewy chips rather than crispy ones.
