Like I promised in my previous DIY Junk Food entry, here is another recipe for you: Sweet Potato Chips! As you are well aware, I very much enjoy eating sweet potatoes in any form. My Dad taught me this one a couple years ago; we used a deep fryer. This version is a little different.
2. Slice sweet potato into as thin rounds as you can. Try to keep the width consistent so that they bake consistently.
3. Arrange sweet potato rounds onto baking dish. Drizzle oil (I used grape seed oil) on top of the rounds. Use the back of a spoon to coat each one. Flip over your rounds as needed.
4. Bake in heated oven for about 15 minutes. I really don't know how long mine were in there. As you can see, some are crispier (burnt) compared to others; that was because of the variation in size. Really, you should keep an eye on your chips to make sure they aren't burning.
5. Sprinkle with sugar (that's how Dad does it), salt, paprika, whatever pleases you and enjoy.
By the way, this was only about 150 calories, 4g of fiber, 2.3g of protein, 43mg of calcium, and 541.5mg of potassium. Yum! It would make a great alternative to the usual sweet potato dishes for Thanksgiving...think about it!
In health,
Lauren
