Sweet Potato Chips

I had sweet potato chips again last night. This time I made them for my little family. I can’t begin to tell you how good I think they are. I ate more of them than anyone. Tiny even said he liked them. Then I told him that I couldn’t believe he was eating a vegetable and he didn’t want to eat any more. Needless to say, Hubby put an end to that and Tiny shoveled the rest of them in. So I’ve decided that everyone needs to know how to make these things. Maybe you already do and I’ve been missing out all this time. Anyhoo… here goes…

Peel a sweet potato.
Slice sweet potato into slices about ¼ inch thick or a little less.
Arrange on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil.
Mix them around so that they are all covered and make sure they are in a single layer.
Sprinkle with splenda and cinnamon. You can use sugar if you like.
Bake at 425° for about 30 mins. Check them with a fork after 20 mins to see if they’re soft.

(After 15 minutes, I flipped them and sprinkled the other side with splenda and cinnamon. Then another 15 mins.)


I think I could eat these things every day. I’m out of control!!!

Update: I did make myself some asparagus for dinner last night too as well as some mixed veggies.

Update #2: The sweet potato chips are not crunchy, they are soft. I suppose if you were to slice them very thin, they would get a little crunchy. Some of the ones I sliced kind of thin started to get crispy on the edges and they were really good.

Ok, so they're called CHIPS, but they're not crunchy....???? From the recipe, it just sounds like sliced baked sweet potato. I want to make sure before I try making these!
