BBQ Grilled Sweet Potato Chips
Grilled sweet potato chips are a healthier and more flavorful alternative to store-bought chips. The natural sweetness of the sweet potato harmonizes perfectly with the smoky paprika and garlic, while grilling makes them crispy on the outside and pleasantly soft on the inside. This recipe is a perfect choice as a light snack, party appetizer, or side dish for a summer barbecue. To make it even more exciting, serve with garlic yogurt dip or fresh guacamole.

Preparation Steps
1
Wash the sweet potato, then peel it if desired. Using a sharp knife or vegetable slicer, cut into thin slices, about 2-3 mm thick.
2
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If you like it spicier, add chili flakes.
3
Toss the sweet potato slices in the spiced oil, making sure to coat each slice evenly.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and if necessary, brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent the sweet potato from sticking.
5
Place the sweet potato slices on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned and crispy.
6
Watch carefully to prevent burning, and turn them occasionally as needed.
7
Once cooked, let them cool for a few minutes to achieve a crispier texture.
8
Serve warm as a standalone snack, with dips, or as a side dish to grilled meats and vegetables.
