Crispy Sweet Potato Chips Food

BAKED HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line two 10x15-inch baking sheets with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.
• Divide sliced sweet potatoes among baking sheets ensuring potatoes are not stacked.
• Brush both sides of sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil.
• Bake 13-14 minutes until edges are brown. Remove chips with crispy brown edges and continue baking other chips, checking constantly and removing as edges brown.
• Sprinkle with salt and serve in basket. Add fun flavorings your family loves, like BBQ spice rub or Parmesan cheese.

CRISPY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Set a pot of water on medium-high heat to boil.
• Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into roughly 1/3 inch sheets, then into roughly 1/3 inch thick fries. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Once the water has boiled, add the vinegar and a 3 finger pinch of salt, stirring to dissolve the salt. Add the sweet potato fries to the boiling water and set a timer for 6 minutes. When the time is up, drain the fries into a colander. Using a fork lightly scratch the surface of the fries to help the slurry mixture mix into the nooks and crannies.
• Meanwhile, add the 50 g cornstarch and 80 g of cold water to a bowl. Stir until completely combined with no clumps remaining. Add the still hot, drained fries to the bowl and toss until the slurry thickens and sticks to the fries. If you need a little more cornstarch feel free to add it. The mixture should lightly coat the fries.
• Using tongs, move the fries to a wire rack over a large baking sheet. Evenly space the fries so none of them are touching. Using a squirt bottle or spoon, drizzle the peanut oil over the fries trying to get an even coating over each one (you could also use a baking spray though I didn't find it works as well). Add the sweet potatoes to the oven and set a timer for 15 minutes.
• Pull the baking sheet out and flip the fries with a spatula. At this point, you should be able to see some blistering on the outside but the fries won't be overly crisp. If they look a little dry, drizzle over more peanut oil. Add them back to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. At this point, they should be slightly browned and crispy though it could take longer depending on the size of the fry, how crowded the pan is or the oil used. If they aren't crispy, let them go longer!
• Pour in the fries into a bowl. Immediately a pinch of salt and a couple of cranks of black pepper. Toss the fries in the seasoning and enjoy with the dipping sauce of your choice. Feel free to add spices, fresh herbs, cheeses, or any flavorings of your choice during this stage.

BAKED SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (121 C) and position oven rack in the center of the oven.
• Rinse and dry your sweet potatoes thoroughly and slice them as uniformly thin as possible (~1/8 inch thick slices). If you have a mandolin, use it. Otherwise, use a very sharp knife to get these uniformly thin. Know that chips that are too thick in parts won't crisp up all the way. Still delicious, just not "chip" crispiness.
• Toss slices in a touch of olive oil to lightly coat, then sprinkle with salt. Lay out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 2 hours, flipping chips once at halfway point to ensure even cooking. I also rotated mine for more even cooking (optional but recommended). Note: thickness of slices will impact cooking time. Check at ~15 minute intervals during the second hour of cooking to ensure they aren't burning.
• Remove once crisp and golden brown. Some may feel a little tender in the middle but take them out and let them rest for 10 minutes or so to crisp up before sampling. Serve immediately.

CRUNCHY SMOKED SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut 1.5kg (about 7) sweet potatoes into chunky chips and put in a large bowl. Drizzle with 3 tbsp vegetable oil, then sprinkle with 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika, 2 tbsp fine cornmeal or polenta and plenty of seasoning.
• Toss until well coated, then divide the chips between 2 large baking trays lined with baking parchment. Cook for 35 mins until golden and crunchy, tossing halfway through cooking.

CRISPY BREADED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and water.
• In a resealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cayenne and pepper.
• Cut sweet potato into 1/4-in. strips. Add to egg mixture, a few at a time, and toss to coat. Add to the crumb mixture, a few at a time; seal bag and shake to coat.
• Arrange potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray; drizzle with oil. Bake at 450° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally.

CRISPY SWEET POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan forced).
• Line two large baking trays and set aside.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 6mm (1/4") chips. You will have some smaller chips from the edges, which is perfectly fine.
• Mound the cut chips onto one of the baking trays and drizzle over the olive oil.
• Season well with salt and pepper, and toss the chips well to ensure that every piece is well coated in oil.
• Spread the chips out over the two baking tray(s), ensuring that they are well spaced on the trays.
• Place the trays in the oven and cook the chips for 15 minutes.
• Flip the chips with a large spatula, and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on the chips towards the end of the cooking time as they can burn, particularly the smaller pieces from the edge.
• Serve hot.
