Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Who doesn't love a good chip and dip combo? Is there anything better than sitting on your couch on a Saturday afternoon with a bowl of chips and dips on the coffee table, a cold beverage in hand while watching endless episodes of trash television? Have you ever thought of making your own chips? I know that probably conjures up images of a large vat of oil boiling away on your stove and the subsequent frustration when your chips are no more than soggy potatoes, but fear not! This recipe is baked and therefore less mess and (possibly) even a little healthier!

Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Tajin Classico, Sea Salt and New England Seafood seasoned Sweet Potato Chips

2 Medium Sweet Potatoes, peeled and sliced using a mandoline slicer
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
Seasonings of Choice

Preheat oven to 375 and spray baking sheets with nonstick spray.

Slice your potatoes to the thinnest setting using a mandoline slicer. This kitchen tool is awesome for chopping, julienning and slicing veggies! You can do this using a regular kitchen knife but it is going to take significantly longer to do.

Place your potato slices in a large bowl and coat with olive oil and get ready to season!

I wanted to try 3 separate seasonings - 1) Sea Salt, 2) Tajin Classico, and 3) New England Seafood

If you're like me and want to have some options, separate the oiled potatoes into separate bowls and season with 2-4 Tsp of seasoning in each bowl, about 1/2 Tsp seasoning per 1 C of potato slices. Toss to coat each slice completely.

After your potatoes are coated, place each slice onto the prepared baking sheets and bake in 5-6 minute increments checking often. Since these slices are so thin they will burn in no time so you have to be watchful. Remove the crisp chips to a bowl or plate to cool and continue to bake the rest until all potato slices are crispy and cooked.

Move to a zip-top bag and store in a cool dry place for 1-2 weeks (if they last that long!) Nate ate handfuls of my chips while the rest were still in the oven but I don't blame him! They are crunchy and crispy and I have a feeling the sea salt flavor would taste fantastic with some onion dip (specifically the kind you make with dried soup mix).
