Baked yam chips are a lower calorie and more nutritionally dense alternative to fried potato chips.  Since they’re naturally sweet, they can be eaten to control cravings for sweets.

Equipment

• Kitchen mandolin (slicer)
• Convection oven (preferred)
• Half sheet baking tray (18” by 13”)

What our mandolin looks like.  

Ingredients

• Yam, bigger the better
• Kosher salt
• Olive in in spray bottle

Instructions

• Set mandolin to slice mode, ⅛” thickness.    
• Start slicing.  Should look something like this:

• Oil the pan with 4 ounces of olive oil.  Use a paper towel to spread it.   
• Sprinkle 2 ounces of kosher salt evenly throughout the pan.  
• Place yam slices on the pan.  Each slice can overlap another slice by up to an inch.  
• Spray olive oil on top of yam chips, as little or much as you want.  
• Sprinkle 2 ounces of kosher salt on top of the yams.  
• Bake at 200 degrees for an hour.
