1 tbsp lime zest
Sweet potato crisps with chilli-lime salt

Sweet potato crisps with chilli-lime salt are a delightful and healthier alternative to regular potato chips. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a zesty and slightly spicy seasoning, making them perfect for snacking or as a side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make these crispy treats at home.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices (about 1/8 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
3. Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, place the sweet potato slices. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil or your preferred cooking oil to lightly coat them (optional for extra crispiness). Toss the slices to ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap to allow proper air circulation and crispiness.
5. Bake in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, especially in the last few minutes.
6. Season with Chili-Lime Salt: While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine the salt, chili powder, and lime zest in a small bowl. Mix well to create the chili-lime salt.
7. Serve: Once the sweet potato crisps are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chili-lime salt over them while they are still warm. Toss gently to ensure an even coating.
8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the crisps to cool slightly on the baking sheet (they will continue to crisp up as they cool). Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious sweet potato crisps with a kick of chili-lime flavor!

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.

Enjoy the vibrant flavors of these sweet potato crisps with chilli-lime salt. They're not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.
