I have become a little obsessed with sweet potatoes lately.  I already loved the taste of them and enjoyed eating them, but have found new ways to cook them!

Here is a recipe I fixed this week which my hubby and dad (and me!) loved. We also had my nephew and niece (ages 5 and 3) and they loved them too! Plus it’s super easy! They’re not really a chip, just shaped like one

Sweet Potato Chips

• -2 tbsp olive oil
• -2 tbsp maple syrup
• -cayenne pepper*
• -3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
• -salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Stir together olive oil, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.  Brush the sweet potato slices with the maple mixture and place onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Bake for 8 minutes. Turn the slices over and brush again with the maple mixture. Continue baking approximately 8 more minutes (until tender in the middle and crispy on the edges).

4. Enjoy!

*cayenne pepper is optional. I used about 1/4 of a tsp. We like spicy things.  If you are not a fan of spicy, omit it
