Baked sweet potato chips, No oil

 Sweet potato is a starchy root vegetable. In Kerala, it is oft boiled or pressure cooked and then peeled to be eaten with a spicy green chili chutney. The flesh is white in color, though in North America, the orange variety is more predominant and is called yam. This sweet potato chips is an inspiration from my two year old niece, Joanna, who loves them :-)

The ingredients...

Sweet potato - 1 medium size

Salt - a sprinkle

Kashmiri chili powder - a smidgeon

The technique..

Wash sweet potato well under running water and peel off the skin. Cut into thin slices. Remove any excess water on the slices by dabbing on a dry towel. Sprinkle salt in a batch and chili powder in the other.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange the chips on the tray without overlapping.

Preheat oven to 180C. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Halfway through, flip the chips so that they are cooked through and through.

Enjoy them fresh and crisp.
