Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 medium zucchini sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil light drizzle for tossing
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika adds smoky flavor

Equipment

  • Mandoline or sharp knife
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking sheet
  • Tongs
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, thinly slice the sweet potatoes and zucchini into 2-3 mm thick rounds or strips, aiming for uniform slices for even baking.
  3. Place the sliced vegetables in a large bowl, then drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly—this helps the spices stick and promotes crisping.
  4. Add a pinch of sea salt and a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings across all slices.
  5. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap or crowd to ensure they crisp up properly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping the slices with tongs halfway through. Keep an eye on them—edges should turn golden brown and crisp, with a gentle crackle when you bite into them.
  7. Once crispy and golden, remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool and maintain their crunch.
  8. Allow the veggie chips to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days for maximum crispness.
