Notes
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve as a savoury snack or as a side dish with cooked fish or chicken.
- This recipe is also a great side to our Paleo Popcorn Chicken recipe.
- Toss sweet potato chips with 1 tablespoon dried herbs such as rosemary or oregano before baking.
- To prevent your chips from going soggy I recommend pre-heating your oven tray prior to transferring chips into for baking.
- Omit fresh garlic from tomato sauce use garlic infused olive oil in place of olive oil.
