Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Not too long ago I purchased a de Buyer Kobra Adjustable Slicer .......a.k.a a mandoline.....a.k.a. a tool that slices stuff super thin for you from Williams Sonoma.  I decided to try it out on sweet potatoes and make baked sweet potato chips.  A mandoline is not required for this recipe, you can always use a knife, just watch those fingers!

The slicer was very easy to use and most important for me, a no brainer to clean.  This is an easy and tasty way to enjoy a nutritious snack.  Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin C, calcium, folate, potassium, and beta-carotene.  Making them into a baked chip by only adding a little bit of olive oil and salt is perfect.
 
 

Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Serves 4

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Slice potatoes very thinly using a mandoline or a knife.  In a large bowl, toss the potatoes in olive oil, making sure to separate them getting olive oil on each and every slice. 

On large baking sheets (you may have to do a couple of batches), lay out potatoes in a single layer. 

 
Bake, turning occasionally until curled, dried, and done.  This will take about 30-35 minutes.  The thicker your potato slices, the longer it will take. 
 
As soon as you remove them from the oven, season them with salt.
