Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Uniform thickness ensures even cooking.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp spice mix.
- Spread the sweet potato slices out on a large surface or in a large mixing bowl.
- Brush or gently toss the sweet potato slices with the simple syrup until lightly coated.
- Sprinkle the cumin, salt, and spice mix evenly over the sweet potato slices, making sure they are well-seasoned.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. If storing, allow them to cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- For extra crispiness, you can toss the chips in a little bit of cornflour before baking.
- If you prefer spicier chips, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mix.
- Make sure to flip the sweet potato chips halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
- For an additional burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the chips right before serving.
There you have it—scrumptious Skinny Chilli & Cumin Sweet Potato Chips that are both healthy and delightful. These chips provide a nutritious option to traditional fries, without sacrificing flavor. Bon appétit!
