Lime & chilli kumara chips are a delicious and healthy alternative to conventional potato chips. Made from sweet potatoes, these chips are seasoned with a zesty lime and a kick of chili powder, creating a perfect balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Whether you're looking for a crunchy snack or a unique side dish, this recipe is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even slices or your preferred chip shape.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices, salt, lime zest, and chili powder. Toss everything together until the sweet potato slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned sweet potato slices out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping. This helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the baking time (around the 10-12 minute mark), flip the sweet potato slices to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
Keep an eye on the sweet potatoes during the last few minutes of baking to ensure they don't burn. They should be golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Once done, remove the sweet potato chips from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further.
Serve the lime & chilli kumara chips as a tasty snack or side dish. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with your favorite dip.
Tips:
- Ensure your sweet potatoes are sliced evenly to promote uniform cooking.
- For extra crispiness, soak the sliced sweet potatoes in cold water for 1-2 hours before baking. Pat them dry thoroughly before seasoning.
- Experiment with the level of chili powder to suit your taste preferences. You can always add more if you like extra heat.
- Try using a baking rack to elevate the chips in the oven for even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Serve the chips with a dip such as guacamole or a tangy yogurt-based sauce to enhance the flavor profile.
With a combination of zesty lime and spicy chili powder, these kumara chips offer a delightful twist to traditional sweet potato chips. Simple to make and bursting with flavor, they are perfect for any occasion. Give them a try and enjoy a healthy, homemade snack that everyone will love.
