2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. You can leave the skin on for extra crispiness and nutrition. Slice the sweet potatoes into thin, uniform 1/4-inch thick rounds. The more even the slices, the more evenly they will cook.

3. Dip in Butter: In a bowl, melt the butter until it’s nice and liquid. Dip each sweet potato slice into the melted butter, ensuring both sides are coated.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the butter-coated sweet potato slices on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to spread them out evenly and avoid overlapping. This ensures each chip gets crispy and golden brown.

5. Add Nutty Crunch: Now, for the nutty goodness! Sprinkle a generous amount of peanuts over the sweet potato slices. You can crush the peanuts slightly for smaller pieces or leave them whole for a satisfying crunch.

6. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and let the magic happen! Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sweet potato chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.

7. Season and Serve: Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the hot chips with salt. This not only enhances the flavors but also adds that perfect balance of sweet and salty.

8. Enjoy! 🎉 Let the chips cool for a few minutes to crisp up further, then serve them as a delightful snack, a side dish, or even a crunchy topping for salads. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for that irresistible crunch!

Tips for Perfect Sweet Potato Chips 🌟

• Slice Evenly: Try to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform slices. This ensures they cook evenly and all end up with that perfect crispness.

• Crispy Crunch: For extra crispy chips, you can soak the sliced sweet potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before patting them dry and proceeding with the recipe. This helps remove excess starch for a crunchier result.

• Get Creative: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings! You can try a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a sweet version, a dash of cayenne for some heat, or even a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness.

• Storage: If you happen to have any leftovers (though they are usually gone in a flash!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They might lose some of their crispiness, but a quick reheat in the oven can bring back that delicious crunch.

These Nutty Sweet Potato Chips are not only a fantastic snack option but also a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. Whether you’re serving them up for game night, movie marathons, or just a cozy evening at home, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone! Give them a try and let the nutty, crispy goodness speak for itself! 🌟🍠
