Ingredients
- 1 medium Sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the sweet potato thoroughly. Do not peel the skin unless desired.
Step 2
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potato into very thin, even rounds, approximately 1/16-inch thick.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil to ensure they are lightly coated. Add salt and any optional seasonings, then mix well.
Step 4
Take a large microwavable plate and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Arrange the sweet potato slices on the plate in a single layer without overlapping.
Step 6
Microwave on high power for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip the slices over. Microwave again for another 2-3 minutes, or until the chips are crisp and starting to brown. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the chips from the microwave and allow them to cool on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 8
Repeat the process with remaining sweet potato slices, if necessary.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
