Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch thin rounds and place in a large bowl.
  2. Step 2: Toss the sweet potato slices with 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the slices in a single layer on two large parchment-lined baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each chip carefully and bake for another 15-20 minutes until edges are golden and chips are crisp.
  5. Step 5: Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle 1 tsp sea salt flakes over the hot chips. Let cool on wire racks to crisp further before serving.
