Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Guilt-free snack! These chips are made without any fat. For attractive circular chips, look for sweet potatoes that are round rather than long. I think these are even yummier than regular potato chips...

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato, unpeeled,washed,and dried (about 9 ounces)
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200°F with two racks.
  2. Line two baking pans with parchment paper, and set aside.
  3. Slice potato crosswise, as thin as possible.
  4. Arrange the slices on the prepared sheets, and keep them from touching as much as possible.
  5. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Cook for 50 minutes.
  7. Slices will dehydrate and shrink; turn chips over, and rotate baking sheets if needed for even cooking.
  8. Cook until slices are crisped and fluted around the edges and the centers are still orange, not brown, 30 to 40 more minutes.
  9. Transfer to cooling racks, and cool chips on baking sheets.
  10. (Chips will be soft when removed from oven and will crisp as they cool.) Store in an airtight container, at room temperature, up to 3 days.

    This is really great for people who want to enjoy and endulge in the delight of eating oven baked and crunchy potato chips but are afraid of the unhealthy "benefits" of such products. Now they can make potato chips and enjoy, because they are know sure that it is all natural and does not contain any preservative.

    What's a good alternative for the salt? Or rather, what kind of salt should I use? My mother says she's not allowed to eat much that includes salt, but she really wants to try this at home and wanted me to ask if there are other better alternatives to common table salt?

    Well, the guide is really great. I hope to try this when I get home. The only problem is that you forgot to add a warning, a warning that states that this should not be done by children and those that do not know how to operate the oven properly.

    Not only did you provide a clear step-by-step direction on how to bake the sweet potato chips, but, you also provided the exact detail on what happens when you bake the sweet potato. This is a very nice guide. I tried this a few hours ago and I'm currently eating the sweet potato chips. They are very tasty and yummy.

    This is really the first time I knew that potato chips could made right from our homes. Thanks for this article. Now, I am able to make them right when I want them, especially during times when I want to go on a movie marathon with my family and friends.

    Nutrition and Yummyness all packed in one? Could you ask for more? Sweet potatoes were tasty and nutritious enough, so making them into baked potatoes would make them really delicious and nutritious at the same time.

    Could the same be done with regular potato? Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes are kind of different, especially in taste. So, I do hope that you reply to this query of mine since I would like to try the same procedures with a potato.

      I see no reason that the same recipe for sweet potatoes could not be used for white potatoes.  Good luck and thanks for writing. MT

    The author has given us a detailed description of how to make oven baked sweet potato chips. I have always been an ardent fan of potato chips. It is really wonderful if you take them with KFC. I have always wanted to make some of them at home. This blog has really helped me. But I am a bit worried because I read somewhere that potato chips can cause cancer. Anyway I have decided to try this recipe. John

      Why do you ask me this once on every single 'subject page'?  Do you even read the articles?  Please refrain from doing this in the future, when I shall immediately delete your comment.  Thank you.  Maggie
