Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes about 1/2 lb. each*
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt**
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup Van's Soft-Baked Whole Grain Granola Clusters
  • Optional toppings in notes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Use a paper towel or brush to fully coat with about 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Evenly slice sweet potato just under 1/8-inch thick with a mandolin slicer or very sharp knife.
  • Place half of the sweet potato slices in a large bowl and toss with a little less than 1 tablespoon oil to coat both sides of every slice. You want a thin coat to make them glossy.
  • Place each slice on the pan without overlapping. The edges can touch but keep them in a single layer.
  • Repeat with the other half of the slices to fill the other pan.
  • Place pans on separate racks and bake for 15 minutes. Switch the position of the pans after 8 minutes.
  • Remove pans from the oven and flip every potato slice, carefully with your fingers. Switch pan position and bake for another 8 minutes.
  • Repeat this process until the edges are curled and their coloring starts to turn a light shade of brown. This will take about 6-10 rounds of baking/flipping/switching pans. Some slices may finish before others. As they start to brown, remove those slices and place on a cooling rack. Top with salt immediately. Continue to bake/flip/switch until all potatoes are finished.
  • Let potatoes fully cool for the crispiest bite (about 5-10 minutes). The slices don’t need to be evenly browned all over. Once they start browning that’s the sign that they’ll be crispy when cooled.
  • To serve nachos; mix Greek yogurt and maple syrup in a small bowl. Top sweet potato chips with Greek yogurt mix, Van's Soft-Baked Whole Grain Granola Clusters and other optional toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

*long, skinny orange sweet potatoes work best
**try a couple tablespoons almond or peanut butter and leave out the maple syrup instead of the Greek yogurt/maple syrup mix, for a vegan version
***sweet potato slices will shrink while baking
