Tips & tricks
In this list, you will find some helpful tips and tricks that I think will make your life easier while making these healthy sweet potato chips.
- For these baked chips, I like to use small-ish sweet potatoes; I think they look more beautiful and get a better crunch.
- You could use any color or a mix of all.
- I also prefer to use a mandoline to slice the vegetable instead of a knife.
When using a mandoline, we can achieve an even thickness of the sweet potato, which translates into even cooking. If you are using a sharp knife, try to make the thickness of the slices as even as possible.
- When placing the sweet potato slices on the baking sheet, do not overlap them. It is better if each slice has its place on the baking sheet.
- You can season the baked chips with anything you like. I mean, even with only salt and pepper will taste good. But if you feel adventurous, use chili powders and a mix of spices.
- I have this recipe for baked sweet potatoes with a homemade Latin spice mix that is very, very good.
ideas to eat healthy chips
- These chips are perfect on their own or with freshly made Mexican salsa Verde, with guacamole, drizzled with chamoy sauce, or vegan Mexican crema.
- You can even prepare them as healthy nachos with refried beans and all the finishing topping I mentioned above.
