Healthy Recipe Homemade Baked Sweet Potato Chips INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION Heat the oven to 275°F. Set a wire rack on a large baking sheet and set aside. Thinly slice the sweet potato on a mandoline about 1/8-inch thick. Toss together the slices with olive oil in a bowl, making sure each slice is coated well. Season with salt and pepper. Place the slices on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for about 50 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking, until golden and crisp. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
• 1 medium sweet potato • 4 tablespoons olive oil • Salt and pepper, to taste
Anti-Inflammatory Agent: Sweet potato is often overshadowed by other exotic vegetables and fruits. But it is also a good source of complex carbohydrate, beta- carotene, manganese, vitamin B6 and C as well as dietary fiber. Working in concert, these nutrients are powerful antioxidants that help to heal inflammation in the body.
