Tipps

Slice Sweet Potatoes Evenly

Even cutting of sweet potato slices is key to ensuring they all cook at the same rate. A mandolin can help achieve this easily.

Serve Fresh

These chips taste best when served fresh out of the oven. However, if there are leftovers, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

Adjust Oven Rack Position

Place the oven rack in the middle position. This allows for even heat distribution and prevents the chips from cooking unevenly.

Careful With the Paprika

While paprika adds a lovely smoky flavor, it should be used cautiously for those sensitive to histamine. Omit if necessary.

Quinoa Coating

Make sure each sweet potato slice is properly coated with the quinoa and olive oil mix. It provides a delightful crunch and boosts the nutritional value of each chip.
