How to Make Everything Bagel Sweet Potato Chips
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with foil and giving them a quick spray of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Slice the sweet potatoes using a mandoline, making sure each slice is about ⅛ inch thick for even cooking. The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll get!
-
Toss the sweet potato slices in a bowl with olive oil until they’re lightly coated. This will help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
-
Arrange the slices on the baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle half of the everything bagel seasoning over one side for that burst of flavor.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the pan. Flip the chips over to season the other side and sprinkle with the remaining everything bagel seasoning.
-
Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, watching closely until the chips turn crisp and golden brown. They can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them!
Optional: Serve with your favorite dip for an extra delicious crunch!
