I have read that we are encouraged to eat at least ONE orange fruit or vegetable a day! This recipe makes it easy considering I could literally eat the entire batch of these deliciously spicy sweet potato chips in one sitting! Compulsive eating aside, I love this recipe because I can very easily add some really healthy spices into the mix and it still tastes great! Turmeric and Cumin for instance, have been linked to helping the prevention of diseases such as Alzheimer’s due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Recipe
2 sweet potatoes
1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon course salt
1 tablespoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (x2)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
1/2 ground mustard (optional)
Pinch of Cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Directions
Wash sweet potatoes then dry, slice into thin coins.
Place the sweet potatoes on a large bowl coat with oil first and them add the remaining ingredients.
Take a bowl about the same size and holding them together shake the potatoes so they are evenly coated. If you don’t have two bowl just use your hands, but be prepared to stain them.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer.
Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes to the other side, and rotate the pan.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes or so, or until the potatoes are browned and soft.
Ketchup optional.
