Recipe Details
Yield: 2-3 servings
Difficulty: Easy
Total Time: About 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces), scrubbed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Jalapeño-Cilantro Yogurt Spread, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Slice the sweet potato into very thin rounds (1/16 inch thick; use a mandoline if you have one) and place in a large bowl.
- Add the oil, paprika, and salt and toss with your hands until thoroughly coated.
- Place the slices in a single layer on 2 baking sheets—the rounds can be touching but should not overlap.
- Bake one sheet at a time until the edges of the chips curl up, the centers are just golden brown, and the tops are dry to the touch, about 12 minutes.
- Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the chips cool until crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Using your hands, carefully transfer the chips to a serving dish.
- Repeat with the second sheet.
- Serve immediately with Jalapeño-Cilantro Yogurt Spread, if desired.
