A Quick and Easy Recipe
This recipe yields 8-12 servings and can be ready in just 30 minutes. The active time is only 5 minutes, making it a breeze to whip up a batch.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 pounds Garnet sweet potatoes, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
- 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Tips for Making the Perfect Chips
To get the best results, make sure to heat your oven to 450°F and arrange the racks in the upper and lower third. This will ensure even cooking and help you achieve that perfect crispiness.
The Cooking Process
Coat two baking sheets with 1 teaspoon of oil each, then set them aside. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, vinegar, and remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Divide the potatoes evenly between the prepared baking sheets, spreading them out in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the chips are browned and crispy.
Storing Your Chips
While these chips are best enjoyed the day they’re made, they’ll still be delicious for up to 2 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. So go ahead, make a batch, and enjoy them all week long!
