Sweet Potato Chips
Golden sweet potato chips are seasoned with a savory cinnamon-chili blend and gently dehydrated. The natural sweetness of the sweet potato harmonizes perfectly with the spicy heat of chili powder and the warm aroma of cinnamon. These chips are a nutrient-rich and satisfying snack.

Instructions
Preparation
15 minutesPeel sweet potatoes and slice into uniform 2-3 mm thin rounds using a mandoline. Lay slices on paper towels and pat lightly dry.
Seasoning
10 minutesIn a small bowl, mix sea salt, cinnamon, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Brush the sweet potato slices with olive oil, then sprinkle with the spice blend. Season evenly on both sides.
Dehydrating
8-12 hoursArrange slices in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 57-63 °C. Flip after 5-6 hours and check progress. Chips are done when completely dry and crispy.
Cooling and Storage
15 minutesAllow chips to cool completely on a rack. Test for crispiness – if still pliable, dehydrate for another 1-2 hours. Store in a sealed jar or airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Pro Tip
Sweet potatoes can also be pre-cooked in lightly salted water (blanch for 5 minutes) to reduce drying time. For maximum crispiness, slice as thin as possible.
