Serving Size and Yield

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings.

Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and slicing them into thin, even slices. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness for optimal crispiness.
Toss the sweet potato slices in a large bowl with olive oil, ensuring each slice is well coated.
Mix the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato slices and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Additional Notes

For a milder version, omit the cayenne pepper. You can also experiment with different spices, such as cumin or smoked paprika, to create your own flavor profile. Serve these chips with a side of guacamole or a spicy aioli for dipping.
