How to make sweet potato skin chips

Featured Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes: You're going to be using just the skins for this recipe, but save the sweet potato flesh for another use (such as to make my Maple Sweet Potato Soup).
  • Oil: Use a neutral oil like avocado or extra virgin olive oil.
  • Salt: To taste (you can't have chips without salt, imo!).
  • Dried rosemary: Optional, but adds an earthy touch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes using a paring knife, creating large skins with just a little flesh attached. (Set aside sweet potato flesh for another use.)
  3. Place the sweet potato skins on a baking sheet and toss with oil and salt.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until skins and crispy and brown. Allow to cool.
  5. Sprinkle with dried rosemary (if using).

Recipe Substitutions and Alterations

  • Instead of sweet potatoes: Use white potato varieties like Yukon or red skin.
  • For the oil: Use any neutral oil you have on hand.
    • My favorite is avocado oil.
    • Olive oil also works well.
