I had sweet potato that I bought for thiruvathirai and pongal festival and was thinking what to to with it. I already made curry too, so was thinking to try something else. And I was thinking of something quick and easy. Not deep fried. And ended up in making these. When you want something for snack time that is healthy as well as tasty, you should make this. Fuss free snack, that is very easy to prepare. Aj loved this so much. I was happy that he liked a healthy snack finally! So will bake these very often. I always refuse to buy sweet potato when ever Vj ask me to buy. That's coz, I don't know what to do with it. Now since I got this recipe, I will buy it👍.

Oil – 2 tbsp
Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Black pepper powder – 1/2 tsp

Step by step preparation
- Peel the skin of sweet potato. Halve it lengthwise and then cut into strips . Length can be of your choice. Make sure to cut into equal size and thickness more or less.
- Add 2 tbsp oil (I used virgin coconut oil, but any cooking oil would work) and coat well. Add red chilli powder, black pepper powder and salt and toss well to coat evenly.
- Pre heat oven at 230 deg C. Arrange the cut the sweet potato strips without crowding much. Bake for 10 mins. Turn the strips and again bake for 10 more mins. Give 5 mins standing time.
Tips
- I used Indian sweet potato variety. You can use any variety available in market.
- One can bake with skin too, but scrub and wash the sweet potato well.
- For a change of flavour, try using one minced garlic and italian herb too along with the spices.
Enjoy your guilt free snack with tea or coffee.
