Ingredients
- 1. Begin by slicing a generously sized sweet potato into 1/4-inch pieces after peeling it gently.
- 2. Drizzle a tablespoon of vegetable oil over the sweet potato slices to enhance their flavor.
- 3. Sprinkle a tablespoon of brown sugar, or adjust to suit your taste preferences, for a touch of sweetness.
- 4. Lastly, add half a teaspoon of salt to elevate the overall taste profile.
Step 1
Start off by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
In a bowl, combine sweet potato slices with a drizzle of oil, a sprinkle of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make sure to mix them all together until the slices are evenly coated with the tasty mixture.
Step 3
Next, carefully lay out the slices on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out and not overlapping. This will help them cook evenly and get that perfect crispiness.
Step 4
Pop the baking sheet into the top third of your preheated oven and let the sweet potatoes bake until the tops are just starting to turn a delicious golden brown, usually around 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 5
Once the tops are slightly browned, flip over each slice to ensure both sides get that lovely crisp. Continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are perfectly toasted on top.
Step 6
After baking, carefully remove the slices from the pan to prevent sticking. You can enjoy these delightful sweet potato treats either warm or cool. Perfect for a snack or as a side dish!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place. A pantry or cupboard works well to maintain their freshness.
- 2. Store sweet potatoes away from ethylene-producing fruits such as apples and bananas to prevent them from ripening too quickly.
