Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (vegan option)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons sesame seeds (white or toasted)

Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut them into thin, even slices (approximately 1/8 inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.

      Make the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), smoked paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

        Coat the sweet potato slices: Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and gently toss them in the marinade until all slices are evenly coated.

          Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. This will help them crisp up nicely.

            Add sesame seeds: Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the sweet potato slices for added crunch and flavor.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through the cooking time. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary slightly.

                Cool and garnish: Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Golden Sesame Sweet Potato Chips as a delightful snack, a crunchy addition to salads, or as a side dish! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature (they are best enjoyed fresh).
