Hey there, snack lovers!
Today, I want to share with you a delicious and healthy recipe for coconut oil sweet potato chips. These chips are not only a great alternative to regular potato chips, but they are also super easy to make and packed with flavor. Whether you’re looking for a tasty snack to enjoy on movie night or a crunchy addition to your lunch, these coconut oil sweet potato chips are sure to hit the spot.
First off, let’s talk about the star ingredient: sweet potatoes. Not only are sweet potatoes delicious, but they are also incredibly nutritious. They are high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them a great choice for a healthy snack. When paired with coconut oil, they take on a deliciously sweet and nutty flavor that is simply irresistible.
To make these coconut oil sweet potato chips, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:
– 2 medium sweet potatoes
– 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: your favorite spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper for an extra kick
Here’s how to make them:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even thickness.
3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with melted coconut oil, making sure each slice is coated evenly.
4. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
5. Sprinkle the sweet potato slices with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you’d like to use.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
7. Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sweet potato chips cool for a few minutes before serving.
These coconut oil sweet potato chips are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are at their crispiest. However, if you have any leftovers (which is unlikely because they are so addictive!), you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Not only are these chips delicious on their own, but they also make a great accompaniment to your favorite dips. Whether you prefer classic hummus, creamy guacamole, or tangy salsa, these coconut oil sweet potato chips are the perfect vehicle for all your dipping needs.
So, the next time you’re craving a crunchy snack, skip the store-bought chips and opt for these homemade coconut oil sweet potato chips instead. Not only will you satisfy your snack cravings, but you’ll also be nourishing your body with wholesome ingredients. Plus, they are so easy to make that you’ll wonder why you ever bought chips from the store in the first place.
I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy these delicious coconut oil sweet potato chips as much as I do. Happy snacking!
