Sweet potato crisps with chilli-lime salt FAQ:
To achieve crispy sweet potato crisps, slice the sweet potatoes evenly to about 1/8 inch thick and ensure they are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping. Additionally, a light coating of oil can help improve crispiness.
Bake the sweet potato crisps at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, especially towards the end, to prevent burning and to ensure they turn golden brown and crispy.
Yes, you can prepare the sweet potato crisps in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For optimal crispiness, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
If you don't have chili powder, you can use paprika for a milder taste or cayenne pepper for extra heat. Adjust the quantity according to your spice preference.
The sweet potato crisps are done when they turn golden brown and are crispy to the touch. You can also taste a piece to check for doneness. Remember that they will continue to crisp as they cool.
Tips:
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are sliced very thinly and uniformly for even cooking. A mandoline slicer works well for this task.
- Soak the slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Dry the sweet potato slices thoroughly before baking to avoid sogginess.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Keep an eye on the crisps while baking, as they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
- Let the crisps cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their crunchiness.
- You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference for more or less spice.
