Baked Sweet Potato Chips

It's January 3, so all our New Year's resolutions to lose weight/get healthy are in full swing! Doesn't it always seem like as soon as you start a diet you only want sugar and carbs? Well.. I craved potato chips today. so I decided to try a healthier homemade version and they turned out delicious!

They weren't at all difficult, but they did take quite a bit of time to make.

Here's what you'll need:

1-2 small sweet potatoes (try to find potatoes that are mostly uniform in diameter so you'll have even chips)

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

And here's how to do it:

1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.

2. Wash your sweet potatoes and slice them to about 1/8" thick using a mandolin (or knife if you don't have a mandolin)

3. Combine the sweet potatoes and olive oil in a bowl and toss them to coat the potatoes.

4. Spread the slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet. 

5. Sprinkle the sea salt over the potato slices.

6. Bake 40 minutes, flip each slice and bake for 30-40 minutes longer, until potatoes are crisp, but not burned.

7. Allow the chips to cool 5-10 minutes and enjoy!
