Sweet potatoes are a nutritious and versatile ingredient that can be transformed into crispy, delicious chips. Baking them instead of frying makes for a healthier snack option. Paired with a spicy dip, these chips are perfect for parties, snacks, or a flavorful appetizer.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- For the spicy dip:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even rounds.
Place the slices in a bowl, then toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Making the Spicy Dip
While the chips are baking, prepare the spicy dip. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, hot sauce, lime juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust the hot sauce to taste for more or less spice.
Serving Suggestions
Once the sweet potato chips are crispy, transfer them to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the spicy dip on the side. These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
Enjoy this healthy, flavorful snack that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a fiery, tangy dip!
