Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (choose white, black, or a blend for visual appeal)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a savory kick)

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To facilitate an easy cleanup later, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water and scrub them well. After drying them with a kitchen towel, use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices, aiming for about 1/8 inch in thickness. Remember, thinner slices yield crispier chips!

      Toss with Oils and Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with the olive oil and sesame oil. Toss them thoroughly to ensure each piece is well coated. Next, sprinkle in the sesame seeds, sea salt, garlic powder (if using), smoked paprika (if desired), and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss again until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Arrange on Baking Sheets: Spread the sweet potato slices out in a single layer on the lined baking sheets. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow for even baking and maximum crispiness.

          Bake: Place the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake the sweet potato chips for about 20-25 minutes. Flip the chips halfway through the baking time to ensure they crisp up uniformly. Keep a watchful eye towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning; the chips should turn a lovely golden brown and be crisp to the touch.

            Cool and Serve: Once they are done baking, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. This cooling period will help them become even crispier. Afterward, transfer the chips to a serving bowl for enjoying.

              Optional Storage: If you have any leftover chips, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. While they can last a few days, they taste best when fresh.
