Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your sweet potato chips will bake evenly and become crispy.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into uniform rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. This helps them cook evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes with the olive oil. Toss until the sweet potatoes are well-coated. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the honey and BBQ sauce until fully combined. This will be your sweet and tangy glaze for the chips.
- Once the sweet potatoes are coated with olive oil, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow for even cooking.
- Drizzle the honey BBQ mixture over the sweet potato slices, ensuring each slice gets a good amount of glaze. You can also use a brush to spread the glaze evenly.
- Sprinkle salt over the sweet potatoes to taste. This enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness of the honey and BBQ sauce.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip the sweet potato chips to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
- Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the slices.
- Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sweet potato chips cool for a few minutes. This will help them crisp up even more as they cool.
- Serve the honey BBQ sweet potato chips warm as a delicious snack or side dish. Enjoy!
Tips
- Slice Consistency is Key: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform, thin slices to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd: Spread chips in a single layer on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and promote crisp edges.
- Watch Carefully: Ovens can vary, so keep a close eye on your chips during the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
- Cooling Matters: Let the chips cool for a few minutes after baking to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Customize Your Glaze: Experiment with different BBQ sauce varieties or add a pinch of cayenne for an extra kick.
- Storage Tip: Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispness for 1-2 days.
