Microwave. Sweet Potato. Chips.
They are seriously yummy! And oh, so easy.
I've made microwave potato chips before from this recipe, but I am going through a sweet potato kick, and I really wanted to try making chips out of them... So I did!
You're going to want to start with a clean microwave. (Try this fast, easy way to clean it.)
Make sure the plate thingy in the microwave is really clean, too... I'll wait...
Ok... are you ready?
Grab your (washed) sweet potato and a mandolin.
Stick the sweet potato on the safety guard. Please do not skip this step.
If you do, things can get ugly real fast!
Using the "thin" setting blade, slice that tater up!
Nice and pretty, right?
Never mind the orange left on the mandolin.
Never mind the orange left on the mandolin.
It is easily washed off with dish soap and/or baking soda.
Sprinkle the slices with salt & oil up your (clean) microwave plate thingy.
Lay out the slices in a single layer & nuke away!
Enjoy!
Microwave Sweet Potato Chips
What You Need:
A microwave
A mandolin or a sharp knife and some mad knife skills
A sweet potato, washed
Salt (if desired)
A little oil (I used coconut oil)
What You Do:
- Slice your sweet potato super thin.
- Sprinkle the slices with a little salt.
- Lightly grease your microwave plate with the oil.
- Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer, not touching, on the plate.
- Microwave for about 4 minutes, turn and microwave 1-4 minutes longer, watching them and removing the ones that are done. Do not let them burn.
My youngest would go crazy for these. He loves anything sweet potato! I've been meaning to purchase a mandolin, I think you just gave me the excuse I needed.
ReplyDeleteHee hee! Glad I could help! ;-)
DeleteI love my mandolin & it's just a cheap one from Walmart. It cuts fries, too... you know... in case you need another excuse. ;-)
Awesome! I don't have a microwave, but I could try this in my frying pan. Thanks for linking up!

DeleteI love sweet potato fries, so I'm sure I will love sweet potato chips! Do the get crispy?
ReplyDeleteYes! They do get crispy! :-) You have to watch them toward the end so that they don't burn, but they get nice and crispy and yummy. :-)
