Equipment
- 2 to 3 large, rimmed bakings sheets

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.
