Baked Sweet Potato Chips Recipe

Lately I’ve been buying bags of gourmet vegetable chips to serve with dips at cocktail parties and neighborhood gatherings.

After all, they’re colorful, uniquely flavored, and seem to be appreciated by friends with certain food allergies.

After looking back at my grocery receipts over the last few weeks, it occurred to me that I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of money on fancy chips this month. Yikes!

How To Make Sweet Potato Chips

1. Slice the sweet potatoes very thin on a mandolin slicer. You can use a standard chef’s knife to cut the sweet potatoes, but it’s much faster on a mandolin. You can also choose to slice your sweet potatoes thicker for sturdier chips, but they will take a little longer to bake.

Using a vegetable peeler is a good way to make them very thin and evenly sliced. (I like mine super thin and crispy.)

2. Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over the top. Toss the slices with your hands to make sure every single slice is kissed with oil on both sides.

3. Lay the sweet potato slices on baking sheets in a single layer.

4. Lightly sprinkle the unbaked chips with Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt. The kosher salt flakes are large and flat, so they hold tight to the oiled chips and offer great salty flavor that brings out each chip’s natural sweetness.

5. Bake!

Trouble Shooting: Why Are My Sweet Potato Chips Burnt or Soggy?

The three most common issues with making baked vegetable chips at home is the tendancy for them to either stay soggy in the middle, or burn quickly and turn dark.

Want to avoid these issue? I can help!

  • Slice the Sweet Potatoes Evenly. The sweet potatoes must be very thin and evenly sliced to baked properly. If you have uneven sweet potaoto rounds you are more likely to deal with over or under cooking issues. Using a mandoling slicer is the best way to ensure even slicing. You can also use a vegetable peeler to make thin even slices
  • Check your Oven Thermometer. The most common issue when baking or roasting anything, is a faulty thermometer (or thermostat) on you oven. It is not unusual for oven thermometers to run 10-30 degrees too hot or too cool, especially if you use your broiler or self-cleaning oven function. Over time, high temperatures damage the thermometer or thermostat, causing this fluxuation in the oven temperature. You can correct the temperature by hanging a new oven thermometer from the middle oven rack. Then once the oven is preheated, adjust the temperature as needed. If you use your oven a lot, change out the hanging thermometer once a year.
  • Don’t Over-Stuff the Oven. Even if your oven temperature is exact, if you put too many baking sheet in the oven at once, each pan will take longer to bake. Placing more than one pan in the oven at a time, also creates more opportunity for uneven baking.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Use a mandolin slicer to cut the sweet potatoes into paper-thin rounds. (I set mine to the thinnest setting.) You can use a knife to do this, but it takes much longer.
  • Pile all the sweet potato rounds into a large bowl and pour the olive oil over the top. Gently toss to coat every piece with oil. Then lay the sweet potato rounds out on the baking sheets in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle the chips lightly with Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. Then move the chips to a bowl, or plastic bag to store. If you happen to find a few chips with soft centers, pop them back in the oven for about 5 minutes.

Notes

Sweet potato chips go from perfect to burnt very quickly. Start watching each batch at the 20 minute mark and remove them the moment they look 90% crispy. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
