Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then thinly slice them into uniform rounds, about 1/16-inch thick, using a mandoline or a sharp knife for best results. Discard the ends of the sweet potatoes.
2 In a large bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes with the olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently with your hands or a spatula until each slice is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings. Ensure no large clumps of spices remain.
3 Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap. Overlapping will cause them to steam rather than crisp up. You may need to use both baking sheets to achieve this.
4 Bake for 18-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through the cooking time, around the 10-minute mark. Continue baking until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp to the touch. Keep a close eye on them as they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
5 Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the sweet potato chips cool on the sheets for a few minutes to further crisp up. Serve immediately for the best texture, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips & Notes

A mandoline is the easiest way to get even 1/16-inch slices; use the hand guard. Uneven slices burn at the edges while the thick ones stay soft.
Pat the slices dry with a clean towel before tossing them with the oil. Drier slices crisp faster and need less oil.
Thin slices finish minutes apart. Move each chip to a rack as soon as it is crisp rather than waiting for the whole sheet.
