Seriously Special High Protein Roasted Sweet Potato Chips
Now let’s please give thanks to sweet potatoes!! They really are something special and when cooked correctly they really do have the wow factor. Packed with goodness, they are high in protein so always a winner and they contribute to our health by being high in fiber and antioxidants that promote healthy gut and brain health.
When first starting on my journey to eating more plant-based food, cooking sweet potatoes was one of my first experiments. As I have always heard they are so healthy for us, so I simply had to start there. Seasoned well and roasted really does make the humble healthy sweet potato a delicious side dish.
Some of my favorite ways to add sweet potatoes into my diet each week is by meal prepping on a Sunday and making a whole container worth of roasted sweet potatoes coins, to add to lunches/dinners during the week. Also, when I am hosting family or friends these roasted sweet potato chips are great for dipping in homemade hummus as a nibble before dinner.
These are great eaten during the summer months - cold in a salad, picnic, or BBQ. Equally they are also very delicious hot in the autumn and winter months.

- 3 sweet potatoes (washed and dried in kitchen roll)
