Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your sweet potato chips will cook evenly and develop a nice char.
- While the grill is heating, wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, carefully slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Try to keep the slices as uniform as possible for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the sweet potato slices until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Once the grill is hot, place the sweet potato slices directly on the grill grates. Arrange them in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the grill. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your grill.
- Grill the sweet potato chips for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary based on your grill.
- Using tongs, flip the sweet potato chips over and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Once the sweet potato chips are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your grilled sweet potato chips warm as a delicious snack or side dish. They pair well with dips like hummus or guacamole, or can be enjoyed on their own!
Tips
- Slice Consistency is Key: Use a mandoline slicer if possible to ensure uniform 1/8-inch thick slices. This guarantees even cooking and perfect crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd the Grill: Cook in batches to ensure each chip gets direct heat and develops those beautiful grill marks.
- Watch Carefully: Sweet potato chips can go from perfectly charred to burnt quickly, so keep a close eye on them and flip every 3-4 minutes.
- Seasoning Hack: For extra flavor, experiment with different spice blends like smoked paprika, cayenne, or even a touch of brown sugar for a sweet twist.
- Serve Immediately: These chips are best enjoyed warm and fresh off the grill, so time your cooking to serve them right away for maximum crunch and flavor.Pro Tip: Let the chips cool for just a minute or two after grilling to allow them to crisp up slightly, creating the perfect texture between crispy and tender!
