Instructions

1

Preparation

15 minutes

Peel sweet potatoes and slice into uniform 2-3 mm thin rounds using a mandoline. Lay slices on paper towels and pat lightly dry.

2

Seasoning

10 minutes

In 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.

3

Dehydrating

8-12 hours

Arrange 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.

4

Cooling and Storage

15 minutes

Allow 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.
