Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
1/2 T olive oil
1/2 t salt (or to taste)
Optional: black pepper, cinnamon, garlic powder, paprika, or other seasonings of choice

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

Wash and dry sweet potatoes thoroughly.

Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife (leave skin on).

Toss slices in a large mixing bowl with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

Spread the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Try different seasoning combinations: cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar for sweet, or garlic powder and paprika for savory.
Uniform slice thickness ensures even cooking.
