  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin chip-like slices, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss well to evenly coat all pieces with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, avoiding overlapping for optimal crispness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the chips over and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the chips from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with lemon juice for a fresh kick.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an extra burst of color and a hint of freshness.
