2. Prepare Baking Pans: Line two baking pans with parchment paper, ensuring they are ready for the sliced sweet potatoes.

3. Slice Sweet Potato: Take the sweet potato and slice it crosswise into thin slices. Aim for slices as thin as possible to achieve crispy chips.

4. Arrange Slices: Arrange the sweet potato slices on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they are spread out evenly and not touching as much as possible. This allows for even baking and ensures each chip becomes wonderfully crispy.

5. Season: Sprinkle the sweet potato slices lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.

6. Initial Baking: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes. During this time, the slices will dehydrate and shrink.

7. Rotate and Flip: After the initial 50 minutes, check the chips. If needed, rotate the baking sheets to ensure even cooking. Flip the chips over to allow both sides to crisp up evenly.

8. Continue Baking: Return the baking sheets to the oven and continue baking until the slices are crisped and have fluted edges, while the centers remain orange and not browned. This usually takes an additional 30 to 40 minutes.

9. Cooling: Once the chips are perfectly crispy, transfer them to cooling racks. Let them cool completely on the baking sheets. Note that the chips will be soft when initially removed from the oven but will crisp up as they cool.

10. Storage: Store your freshly baked sweet potato chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to 3 days, though they’re often enjoyed so much that they disappear quickly!
