I found a delicious looking picture of sweet potato chips. I admit I nearly licked the screen...Why lick the screen when I could just make them myself!
Yes I have attempted sweet potato chips, but this recipe takes it to the next level, these ones are SUPER crispy.
Ingredients:
- 2 – 3 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tbs olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 tbs polenta
- 1 tsp. sea salt (more to taste, if desired)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes well under running water. Slice them into long sticks 1cm thick . Place them in a bowl of water, swish around a few times, then drain (this step helps remove some of the starch from the potato).
- Place potatoes on a clean tea towel and dry thoroughly. Let them air dry while you prepare everything else.
- Place cut potatoes in a plastic bag, pour in oil, seal and shake bag vigorously to coat. Add polenta and salt to the bag and toss well to coat.
- Place fries on a lined baking sheet, making sure that they are not overlapping. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crisp (in my experience, there was no need to flip them halfway through cooking).
