Sweet potatoes are being hailed as one of the healthiest foods you can grab – they’re packed with vitamin A and even vitamin C, and are a great low calorie option as compared to traditional potato dishes. Not to mention, they’re delicious! If you’re looking for a delicious way to incorporate sweet potatoes in a new way, read on to learn how to make cheesy sweet potato crisps.
What you need
(yields about 12 crisps)
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 cup of Parmesan cheese (or cheese of your choice, make sure it’s shredded)
- 1/2 cup of egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon of rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F
- On top of a baking sheet place a wire rack (for optimal baking), and spray the rack with a non-stick spray
- Peel the potatoes
- Grate the peeled potatoes, and try to squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible from them, using your hands or a clean paper towel to try to press the excess moisture out. This step is important because they cook crispier if there is less moisture!
- Transfer the grated potatoes to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the egg whites, cheese, rosemary and pepper
- Combine well
- Using an ice cream scoop, a spoon, or just your hands, scoop out a ball of the mixture that is a little smaller than your palm and set it on the wire rack
- Try to press the scoop as thin as you can on the rack, and repeat until the mixture is gone
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the crisps are dark and the slices are crispy
Serve alongside your favorite salad, with a yogurt dip, or just eat plain!
