Baked Sweet Potato Chips


Sweet potato, a tuberous root vegetable belonging to the same family of plants as the morning glory, is a particularly popular food in the southern United States. Sweet potatoes, native to Central America, are considered a staple in many countries and have been cultivated in Southern states since the 16th century.Nutritionally, sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A and a good source of potassium and vitamin C, B6, riboflavin, copper, pantothetic acid and folic acid.

We always prepare sweet potato during fasting, usually mom deep fries the sweet potatoes and we enjoy them with salt, pepper and lime. I am very fond of fried foods but due to the fat content i avoid making them and try to use alternative methods like baking and grilling. I made these baked sweet potato chips as an evening snack, its very simple to prepare and takes very less time.

Hello :) my first time here.
Got here from Lisa's blog (my first time there too :) You have a nice collection of recipes.
I'm very glad I ran into this recipe. I have only used sweet potatoes a few times and have been trying to include them in our everyday diet. Will definitely be trying this over the weekend.

Hey Parita, tried this last weekend. Yummm, we gobbled it up straight from the baking pan! Thanx a bunch for sharing :)

I tried it last weekend but the chips were not crispy at all. Should I increase the baking time?

Parita said...

Hi Anonymous, try reducing the temperature to 180 C and increase the time to 25 to 30 mins, let me know if this helped :-)

meena said...

Hi Parita,
Great idea. I have tried it 2 times so far but the chips were not crisp at all. I set the oven temp at 400 F but still not crisp. What am I doing wrong?
