Ingredients To Make Baked Sweet Potato Slices

See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients 👇
Variations & Substitutions
To make this recipe I used organic Vegeta, it contains a lot of different dried spices and veggies and I found it complements the sweetness of potatoes really well. However, what spices to use to season your sweet potato slices is totally up to you. Here are a couple of combinations you can try:
- Ground cumin and coriander
- Smoked paprika and chilli powder
- Garlic powder and paprika.
- Ground cinnamon and sea salt.
How To Make Baked Sweet Potato Slices
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 220’C (440’F) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Wash the potatoes and pat them dry. Sweet potato skin is edible so if you want, you can slice the potatoes without peeling them. Just make sure you wash the potatoes properly using a veggie brush.
Step 3: Slice a thin piece from one side of the sweet potato so it sits flat on your cutting board. This little trick makes slicing easier and safer. Slice the potato into 2 mm (0.07 inch) thick slices and arrange the slices on the tray.
Step 4: Brush the potato slices with extra virgin olive oil. I like using a pastry brush for this. Generously season them with the spices.
Step 5: Transfer the tray into the hot oven. Make sure the temperature has reached 220’C (440’F) before you start baking.
Step 6: Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Take the tray out, place it on the heat-proof flat surface, and using kitchen tongs, flip the potatoes onto the other side.
Step 7: Bake for another 10 minutes. Take the tray out again, flip them one more time, and bake for another 10 minutes.
Now you should have perfectly crips golden sweet potato slices!
☀️ Top Tips:
- The secret to perfectly crispy baked sweet potato slices is a hot oven. I bake my potatoes at 220°C (440°F).
- Pat the potatoes dry before cutting them, excess moisture will make potatoes soggy.
- Make sure the oven is hot before you start baking them.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray. Leave some space between the slices, so that they don’t steam but bake in the oven.
- Don’t forget to flip! Flipping the slices halfway through ensures they get evenly crisp on both sides.
❄️ How To Store
Once the sweet potato slices are baked, let them cool down on the tray and transfer them into the airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days. Enjoy cold or reheat in the frying pan for a couple of minutes.
🍴 How To Serve
This recipe makes a fantastic side dish for any dinner table, but these baked sweet potato slices are also delicious on their own. Pair them with a dip like black bean dip or hot smoked salmon dip, or incorporate them into a hearty salad. They even make a great addition to breakfast—I enjoyed them with a fried egg, and it was delicious.
With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, these baked sweet potato slices are a go-to side dish that your family will ask for again and again. Enjoy experimenting with different flavors and serving options!
Recipe FAQs
– Thickness of the Slices: If the slices are too thick, they might not crisp up properly. Aim for uniformly thin slices, around 1/8 inch or thinner, to ensure they become crispy.
– Overcrowding the Baking Sheet: If the sweet potato slices are too close together or stacked on top of each other, they will steam rather than crisp. Make sure to spread the slices out in a single layer with enough space between them.
– Oven Temperature: If the oven temperature is too low, the chips may bake too slowly, causing them to become soft rather than crispy. Make sure your oven is preheated to the right temperature, usually around 400°F (200°C), and consider increasing it slightly if your chips aren’t crisping up.
– Flipping the Chips: If you’re not flipping the chips halfway through baking, one side might remain soft. Flip the slices midway through the baking process to ensure even cooking on both sides.
