Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (white and black mixed, if desired)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh herbs for garnish (like cilantro or parsley, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

        Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) to ensure they become crispy during baking.

          Season the Chips:

            In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, sesame oil, sea salt, paprika, and black pepper. Add the sweet potato slices and toss until they are evenly coated in the oil mixture.

              Arrange on Baking Sheet:

                Lay the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the slices are not overlapping, as this will prevent them from getting crispy.

                  Sprinkle Sesame Seeds:

                    Evenly sprinkle the sesame seeds over the sweet potato slices, ensuring some get on each piece for that nutty flavor and crunch.

                      Bake the Chips:

                        Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of slices. You're aiming for a golden color and crispy texture.

                          Cool and Garnish:

                            Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. This will help them crisp up further. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

                              Serve:

                                Serve your Golden Sesame Sweet Potato Chips warm or at room temperature as a delightful snack or a perfect accompaniment to dips.
