 Why do you prefer baked sweet potato chips instead? 

Without screwing the head any further, let’s get down to the reasons why we are sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are also gluten-free and also contain lots of vitamins A, C, and B6, plenty of fiber, and antioxidants. They also taste sweet, and so they complement other sweeteners very well. Thus, they are very versatile. Further, one of the options for preparing these is to not deep fry but bake the sweet potatoes, which reduces the oil and hence calories content, making it an absolutely guilt-free snack.

 DIRECTION 

 

 Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Centigrade). Proceed to prepare two baking sheets by lining them up with parchment paper to prevent sticking of chips.
2. Wash and cut the sweet potatoes. On the other hand, you might want to leave the skin on, in which case make sure the potatoes are well scrubbed to remove all sand.
3. The sweet potatoes are cut into thin round slices with the aid of a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer. The chips should be about ⅛ of an inch for the crispiest of crisps; the thinner the better! Crispy chips are made from thinner slices! 

 Step 2: Season the Sweet Potato Slices

4. In a spacious bowl, pour in the olive oil, sea salt, and pepper along with any additional spices (smoked paprika, garlic powder, and others) that you plan to use in this procedure.
5. Also, remember to add the sliced sweet potatoes into this bowl so that they can be tossed around and each piece gets coated in the oil and the seasoning blend. Add too much oil in it, and the chips will not be soggy, but they will not be crisp as they are supposed to.

 

 Step 3: Arrange and Bake

6. Place the sweet potato sliced on the jamboree woody greased bakes in a single layer without overlapping. All the pieces are to be placed in a single layer without any overlapping, as they do not become crispy if all are laid on top of each other.
7. Bake in a preheated oven after 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, open the oven and take out the trays and turn each and every piece over. Return it to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, keeping a very close eye on them. Note: They all have different baking durations according to the thickness of the slices and your oven, so keep checking to avoid burning.
8. After all that, when the edges of the chips have gotten all tasty, crunchy, and brownish in color, you can now remove them from the oven.

Allow cooling for 5-10 minutes on the khaki-toned baking paper in order to enhance the crispiness. 

 Step 4: Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

9. However, the dip may not be required at all since the crisps can be eaten so quickly, but should this problem arise and there is a need for one, the solution has a potent fast component. I took a small dish, added the Greek yogurt, followed by lemon juice, garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper, and mixed it. Then put it aside. 

 Step 5: Serve

10. Once all the chips have cooled down and firmed to the crunchiness you would like, bring them to a serving tray. If you want, you can take the presentation a notch higher and sprinkle some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. 

 Preparation of Serving 

This is a great recipe for baked sweet potato fries, which yield approximately 4 servings. The best experience is had when enjoyed straight from the oven; otherwise, they will last in an airtight container for two days max. 

These chips may be served with the optional dipping sauce or other suitable dips, such as guacamole or hummus, and eaten plain. Dishes like burgers, sandwiches, salads, and the like may also come with these chips as a gluten-free side.

 Tips for Success 

Utilize a Mandolin: A mandolin slicer helps to make accurate slicing of vegetables into thin slices and, most importantly, the uniformity of the slices, which is very important in the baking of all the chips that will turn out crispy.

Avoid Pan Overcrowding: Arrange the sweet potato slices in one layer without placing pieces side by side. They are prone to steaming if packed and unable to bake properly, which results in soggy chips.

Supervise Closely: Each oven has its own properties, and sweet potatoes can be crisped to perfection and burned within seconds. For this reason, basal monitoring of the baking specifically towards the end and at the chips is necessary to prevent the chances of messy chipping.

Do Not Serve Right Away: To achieve the desired outcome in physical attributes, particularly in firmness for the chips, do not serve the chips immediately after removing them from the baking pan. It is better to wait for some time, approximately 5 to 10 minutes after they have been left on the baking sheet for cooling.
