Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Peel sweet potatoes and slice as thinly as possible. Toss with 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and spread in a thin layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bake about 20 minutes or until crispy. Makes 4 servings.
I am always looking for ways to preserve food and make it delicious. I was given a bag of huge sweet potatoes and decided to dry them. My first attempt was not that great to eat as a snack, so a friend suggested cinnamon and brown sugar - yum!
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin circles
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cinnamon
a pinch of sea salt
Directions:
Put cinnamon, sugar, and salt into a bag and shake up potatoes in small batches. Place on the screen of your food dryer. Turn it on and dry until crispy, about 12 hours.
Store in a glass jar. They will keep for at least a year if you can manage not to eat them.
