Who doesn’t like chips? And homemade chips are incredible…and so much healthier than store-bought ones. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot more work and most people will rather just buy a bag of chips, and that’s ok.
I wouldn’t make this every time I wanted some chips, but I love challenging myself in the kitchen and making my versions of foods items.
What I liked about these Sweet Potato Chips is that I got to flavour them how I wanted. Feel free to take this recipe and add any other spices and herbs that you like. You could even make a great simple base with just some sea salt and garlic powder.
I decided to make these more Fall inspired, so I added in some Rosemary and a little Thyme. It turned out to be the perfect seasoning to bring chips to a whole new level.
A few tips that I learned while making these since it took a few tries to get them perfect.
-
baking time will depend on how thick your slices are
-
don’t overcrowd your baking sheet, they will not cook as evenly
-
start with a 40 minute baking time. If not crispy, keep baking for 15 minutes at a time until perfectly crisp.
INGREDIENTS:
-
1 medium-sized sweet potato
-
1/4 cup of olive oil
-
pinch of salt
-
1 tbsp of cornstarch
-
1 tsp of garlic powder
-
1 tsp of dried rosemary
-
1 tsp of dried thyme
INGREDIENTS:
-
Preheat oven to 350 F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
If you are a pro with knife control, use a sharp knife and slice rounds as thin as you can. I used a mandolin slicer to get consistent thickness.
-
Add all of the slices to a large bowl and add the oil as well as the corn starch. Using your hand, mix well so that the slices get coated and mix until the starch dissolves.
-
Add the rest of the seasoning and toss.
-
Place the slices on the baking sheets, leaving enough space between the slices.
-
Bake for 40 minutes and flip halfway through. Bake for additional 15-minute intervals until perfectly crisp.
-
Add the spices and herbs. Toss until well coated.
-
Place the slices in the baking sheets, ensuring to not overcrowd the baking sheet.
