Baked Sweet Potato Chips Recipe
I love foods that are good for me including great carbs that don’t send my sugar soaring or send my body into fat storage. That is why I love sweet potato, it is low GI or low sugar and these baked chips rock. This recipe is a great alternative to regular potato chips.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: Approximately 20 minutes on 200 degrees!
Ingredients:
1 sweet potato
3 teaspoons coconut oil
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees
Take a large sweet potato, wash and dry off.
Then peel potato length ways to remove skin.
Next, you need to use one of those larger style peelers to cut very fine round slices, so almost like a thin shave.images
Place 2 teaspoons of olive oil into bowl, add a pinch of sea salt and a pinch of cayenne depending on how spicy you like your food!
Then add super thin slices of sweet potato and mix well.
Line baking tray with alfoil and spread another teaspoon of coconut oil on alfoil to avoid sticking.
Evenly place sweet potato on the tray
Bake in oven for 20 minutes, keep an eye on it because you don’t want them to burn! :-) These chips are super fine so you should babysit and check in every 5 minutes the first time
Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes or for as long as you can manage without tasting. Personally, I find it hard to wait too long :-)
