I’ve tried more than once to make the sweet potato chips this way but it doesn’t work the edges peel up and burn meanwhile the center is undercooked. Even the slices that are evenly sliced I used a mandolin. 

if you don’t have a consistent size to the sweet potato a lot of them burn while others don’t get fully cooked.

Easy and delicious, if a little time consuming.  Had to cook longer than recommended time.

Hi Kristen,

It could be your oven has hot and cool spots. This is a pretty common issue. You may just have to remove some earlier than others, or turn the pan around half way through baking.

I’m curious, is there a reason you started off at 400 deg, and not with the temp the recipe stated? Or were you experimenting? Seems like a waste if 300 worked.

I made a batch of homemade food for my dogs this morning and had several large halves of sweet potatoes left over from over estimating how many were needed for the batch. They were already peeled & it was only 8am so I didn’t know what else to do with them but didn’t want to toss them! So I stumbled on this recipe and used its instructions as a general reference guide for the smaller amount of sweet potatoes that I had. Worked out perfectly! I love sweet potato chips & this was nice unexpected option!
