Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay out the sweet potato slices in a single layer on two baking sheets. Give them a light spray with cooking spray, then sprinkle half of the garlic-pepper seasoning over the top. Pop the trays in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. After that, flip the slices over, spray the other side, and sprinkle on the rest of the seasoning. Put them back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the chips are tender and cooked through. Let them cool a bit before digging in!

Refrigeration Tips
Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best eaten within 1-2 days, as they can lose their crispness over time. To re-crisp, warm them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
How thin should I slice the sweet potatoes?
Aim for about 1/8 inch thick slices to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
Can I use a different seasoning instead of roasted garlic-pepper?
Yes, you can use any seasoning you like, such as paprika, cinnamon, or chili powder.
Should I peel the sweet potatoes before slicing?
Peeling is optional; leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
Can I make these chips ahead of time?
They’re best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
How do I know when the chips are done?
They should be tender with slightly crispy edges and no raw spots.
Can I use convection oven settings for this recipe?
Yes, reduce the temperature by 25°F and check for doneness earlier to avoid burning.
Is cooking spray necessary or can I use oil?
Cooking spray helps keep chips crisp without excess oil, but you can lightly brush them with oil if preferred.
Can I bake all the slices on one sheet instead of two?
It’s better to use two sheets for even cooking and airflow; overcrowding can cause soggy chips.
