Potato chip cravings don’t mess around. But answering that craving with store-bought veggie chips isn’t a great idea: They’re often made of mostly potato starch and coloring, and devoid of any actual real vegetables. What to do? Easy. Skip the greasy bag of chips and make your own batch from real veggies—and little else.
Spiced Sweet Potato Chips
PREP TIME: 10 minutes / TOTAL TIME: 24 / SERVINGS: 2
1 12-oz sweet potato, peeled
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp sugar
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp salt
1. HEAT oven to 375°F.
2. SLICE potato into very thin slices using v-slicer mandoline. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Arrange potato slices on the baking sheets in a single layer. Coat slices lightly with cooking spray.
3. BAKE for 7 minutes, or until barely starting to brown. Turn potato slices over and return to the oven. Bake until lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes more. Transfer finished slices to a bowl and repeat with remaining slices, if necessary. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cumin, sugar, chili powder, and salt.
4. POUR spice mixture over chips and toss well before serving.
