Equipment

  • 2 to 3 large, rimmed bakings sheets
  • 2 to 3 wire racks

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
  • 2-¼ tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim the ends off the sweet potatoes and slice them as thin and evenly as possible. A mandoline works really well for this.
  • Toss the slices in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Use your hands to completely coat the slices if needed.
  • Whisk together the kosher salt with the chili powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Add about half of the seasoning to the potatoes.
  • Line 2 to 3 rimmed baking sheets with foil then place a wire baking rack over the top.
  • Spread the slices of potatoes on the racks allowing only minimal overlap. Sprinkle with about ¼ of the remaining seasoning.
  • Bake in a 300-degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the chips are cooked through and crispy.
  • Give the chips a taste and add some of the remaining seasoning if needed.
