Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats up, line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water and scrub them well to remove any dirt. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp chef’s knife, carefully slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8 inch thick for optimum crispiness.

      Season the Chips: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly, ensuring that each slice is evenly coated with the marinade.

        Add Parmesan: Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss again until each sweet potato slice is lightly coated with cheese, which will help create that delicious crispy texture!

          Arrange on Baking Sheets: Transfer the seasoned sweet potato slices to the prepared baking sheets. Spread the slices out in a single layer, making sure none of them overlap to guarantee even cooking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the chips over using a spatula. Continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning.

              Cool and Garnish: Once the chips are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. This cooling period allows them to crisp up even more! If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the cooled chips to add a burst of color and freshness.

                Serve: Serve your crispy Parmesan sweet potato chips as a delightful snack or a crunchy side dish. For an extra treat, pair them with a dipping sauce such as ranch dressing or a zesty aioli!
