Ingredients:

2-3 large sweet potatoes, washed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Optional spices: paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon

Instructions:

Preparation (15 minutes): Slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a mandoline slicer for consistent thickness.

Seasoning (5 minutes): In a bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add any additional spices if desired.

Dehydrating (6-8 hours): Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Set your dehydrator to 135°F (57°C). Dehydrate for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chips are crispy.

Cooling and Storage (30 minutes): Allow the chips to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
