This recipe makes approximately four servings. At under 100 calories per serving.

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes

2 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.

I tablespoon of sea or Himalayan pink salt.

1 tablespoon chili powder

Equipment:

 

Vegetable peeler 

A mandolin or sharp kitchen knife 

Large mixing bowl

Colander

Food dehydrator

Cooking instructions:

Add 2 cups of cold water in the mixing bowl, and set aside.  Wash and peel your two medium sweet potatoes with your vegetable peeler making sure to remove all the outer skin.

If you're using a mandolin to slice your sweet potatoes place your settings at 1/8 of an inch thick and angle them when slicing to get as large of a slice as possible. Keep in mind they will significantly shrink as they cook. Or choose a sharp kitchen knife that can cut your sweet potatoes very thin.  Please Use caution when using Sharp Cuttery in the kitchen and if you're using a mandolin please keep in mind to use the holder provided.

Place your sweet potato slices in the cold water as your slicing them. Once your done slicing your sweet potatoes let them set the cold water for about 5 to 10 minutes. This helps remove the excess starch and to help the potatoes cook more evenly. Drain your sliced sweet potatoes in a colander removing all the excess water. 

Rinse and dry out your mixing bowl and add the potato slices back in. Pour in your olive oil and seasonings and mix gently to cover all the potatoes.

Place your potatoes on the dehydrator racks paying close attention not to overlap them. If your dehydrator has a temperature setting set it to  about 115° f and cook for 8 to 12 hours.

Store your sweet potato chips and an airtight container. They will a last approximately 2 to 3 months. 

Enjoy!
