Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Baked Sweet Potato Chips

I was desperately craving for some chips today so I decided to make a rendition of my own with a sweet potato. This chip had a soft center, but they were still chewy and a bit crispy from the caramelized brown sugar. Delectable! If you prefer a true, purely crunchy chip, just use a mandoline slicer or cut thin slices yourself.

Tip: It is much easier and safer to cut a sweet potato by first slicing a bit of it lengthwise so that you have an even base to start with.

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato, cleaned, washed, and dried thoroughly

Ground cinnamon

Light brown sugar

Oil for coating

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Slice the sweet potato a little less than 1/4 inch in thickness.

3. Place the sweet potato slices in a small bowl and add about a tbsp. oil and toss a few times until every piece is evenly coated. Make sure there is enough oil, because that is what will give them the crispy texture!

4. Line the slices of sweet potato on a baking sheet.

5. Sprinkle some cinnamon onto each slice and bake for 10 minutes on the middle rack of the oven.

6. Take the sheet out of the oven and flip each slice over, sprinkle cinnamon onto each slice, and crumble brown sugar onto each slice as well.

7. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes on the very first rack of the oven this time. Serve warm.

*If you are using really thin slices to make crispy chips, adjust the baking time accordingly. You have to watch it carefully or else it will burn. Enjoy!
