5 Minute CRISPY Sweet Potato Chips

I was pretty shocked when I discovered this recipe. It’s UHMAZING.

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Sweet potato
  • Salt (or any other seasoning)
  • Olive oil spray can

Instructions:

  1. Use a mandolin and slice up your sweet potato (try to find one that has an even girth throughout the entire length of the potato so you have evenly sized chips)
  2. Cut parchment paper the size of your glass plate inside the microwave
  3. Lay the chips in a single layer on the parchment paper
  4. Lightly spray with non-stick spray and salt them
  5. Microwave on 100% power for 2 minutes 30 seconds (Please note: This measurement was for MY microwave, so please be aware of your own) You will know they are done when they start to lightly brown, but do not wait till they entirely brown — that would mean it burnt)
  6. Let the chips cool, and they will turn crispy :)

The production of brown rice removes only the hull, leaving a lot of the fiber and nutritious value intact. The bran, or the brown skin, is still intact on the rice grain. White rice, in comparison, is only the starchy middle of the rice grain, which has much less nutritive and fiber value. In fact, the process of polishing brown rice into white rice destroys 90 percent of the vitamin B6 and over half of the manganese, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. It also removes all of the dietary fiber… -Wynn Murray
