Description

Sweet potato chips are a crunchy, slightly sweet snack made from thinly sliced, baked sweet potatoes. The dish combines the natural sweetness of the vegetable with the distinct aroma of oil and a delicate hint of paprika — after baking, the edges of the sweet potatoes become golden and slightly shimmering, while the center remains tender. This is a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips, perfect for Valentine's Day as a romantic snack served in bowls or on a heart-shaped plate. The chips can be served alone, with a yogurt-herb dip, or sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan for a bolder flavor. Visually, they make an impression with their intense orange color and contrasting spices.

Preparation steps

Preparation

1

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running cold water, removing any dirt and loose skins. If the skin is thin and smooth, you can leave it on — it will add texture. Dry the sweet potatoes with a paper towel.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Use a hard vegetable brush, cutting board, and paper towels. Do not peel the sweet potatoes if the skin is healthy — this will reduce waste and add crunch.
2

Slice the sweet potatoes very thinly — ideally into slices 1.5-2 mm thick. The easiest and safest way is to use a mandoline set to a thin cut. If you don't have a mandoline, use a very sharp knife and cut the slices evenly, moving the sweet potato steadily on the cutting board.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Use a mandoline if you have one (put on the finger guard) or a very sharp, wide knife. Even thickness is key for even baking — differences greater than 1 mm will cause thicker slices to be soft and thinner ones to burn.
3

Place the sliced sweet potato in a large bowl of cold water and let it sit for 15 minutes. Soaking removes excess starch and helps achieve crispier chips.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Use a large bowl or salad bowl. If you have time, you can change the water and soak for 30 minutes — this gives even better crunchiness.
4

After 15 minutes, drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Dry each slice by gently pressing - moist slices will not bake well.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Proper drying is key to crispiness. You can also use a salad spinner, if you have one, to quickly drain the water.
5

Preheat the oven to 200°C (if you have a convection setting, set it to 190°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure the sheet is large — the slices must lie in a single layer without overlapping.

Place the rack in the middle of the oven. If you have two baking sheets, bake in batches or swap their positions halfway through baking for even browning.
6

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, sweet paprika, and pepper. Pour the sweet potato slices into the bowl and gently mix with your hands or a silicone spatula, so that each slice is thinly coated with the mixture (do not drown them - it should be a thin layer of oil).

Ingredients: Olive oil, Salt, sweet paprika, Black pepper, Sweet potato
Use a large, flat bowl to easily mix the chips. If there is too little oil, the chips will be dry; if there is too much, they will fry and won't be crispy — 30 g for 800 g of sweet potatoes is the optimal amount.

Baking

7

Spread the slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that no slice overlaps another. Leave minimal gaps between the slices — air needs to circulate around them.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Use two baking sheets if needed; it's better to bake in two batches than to stack the slices on top of each other. A single layer ensures even browning.
8

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, then flip each slice (use a spatula) and bake for another 8-12 minutes. Baking time depends on the thickness of the slices and the oven — the chips are ready when the edges are golden and slightly curled, and the center is not raw.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Watch the chips from the 10th minute — thin slices can burn quickly. If you are baking two trays at the same time, swap them after the first turn.

Finishing

9

After baking, remove the tray and let the chips sit on the tray for 2-3 minutes to firm up. If you are using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the hot chips right after taking them out — the cheese will slightly melt and stick.

Ingredients: Parmesan (optional), Dried rosemary (optional)
The chips will become crispier as they cool. Do not store them on a damp surface. Additionally, you can add dried rosemary after removing them for flavor.

Serving

10

Transfer the chips to bowls or a serving plate. Serve immediately, preferably on a heart-shaped plate or in small bowls next to yogurt dip or hummus. The chips are best warm and crispy.

Ingredients: Sweet potato
Use tongs or a spatula to transfer them so they don't break. Additionally, you can serve a few slices of fresh herbs as a garnish.

Fun Fact

💡

Sweet potatoes have been cultivated in Central and South America for thousands of years; in the 17th century, they made their way to Europe, where they gained popularity due to their sweet flavor and long shelf life.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the chips on a flat plate in a single layer, or arrange them in the shape of a heart for Valentine's Day. For dips, I suggest a yogurt-garlic dip (natural Greek yogurt with a bit of garlic and lemon juice) or hummus. If you are using Parmesan, serve it as a sprinkle right after baking.

🥡 Storage

Best consumed immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a maximum of 1 day — after a few hours, they will lose their crunch. To refresh, place in an oven preheated to 180°C for 3-5 minutes to regain their crispness.
