Homemade Sweet Potato Chips

So, I need to have healthy JUMMY snacks  handy to have a better food intake. I decided to use my "so long waiting to be cooked" sweet potatoes that I had on the counter but, what to do? CHIPS!!! as as sweet potato chips!!! awesome, I searched different ways on how to do it and I am SO glad it worked. 

So here it is:

1. peel the potatoes

2. slice into 1/16" or as thin as a nickel

3. place in a large bowl 

4. add 2 Tbs olive oil

5. if you like spice, add 1 tsp of it plus 1 tsp kosher salt

6. coat the potatoes

7. place in cookie sheet ( I used parchment paper)

8. bake at 375 degrees for 15 or until they are crispy

I made 4 trays and I ate 3 of them, oops!!! I place my left overs-yeah, you heard me, leftovers on a ziplock bag to eat later.

Note: Sweet Potatoes are complex carbs, which are good for ya. They are 77g of water, 1.6g protein, 0.05g fat, 20 g carb, 3g fiber

I found the recipe at Food.com by Gillian Spence, here is the copy-paste

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, separated
• 3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
3. In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.
4. In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.
5. Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
6. Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
7. With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
8. Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).
9. Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
10. While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
