PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Chips Light Snack:
- Preheat The Oven: Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius (350° Fahrenheit) and line a baking tray with parchment paper, which ensures even heat circulation and prevents the slices from sticking.
- Slice The Sweet Potato: Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the sweet potato into very thin and even rounds. Consistent thickness helps the chips cook uniformly and crisp up without burning.
- Season: Place the slices in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fine sea salt. Toss gently until each slice is evenly coated, which enhances both flavour and texture.
- Arrange On Tray: Spread the slices in a single layer on the lined baking tray, ensuring they do not overlap. Overlapping prevents airflow and can lead to unevenly baked chips.
- Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through. Remove once the edges are curled and the chips are lightly golden and crisp.
- Cool And Serve: Let the chips cool for a few minutes on the tray. Cooling helps them firm up fully before serving, giving a satisfying crunch with every bite.
