These oven-baked yam chips right here are crispy, light and healthy. Take the guilt out of eating fried yam chips and bake them in the oven instead.  Swap puna yam for sweet potatoes and you can customise the chips to any flavour you want and you may choose to keep them simple with just salt and very little oil.  These chips is healthy when eaten in moderation.

Yam Chips

I was feeling peckish the other day and I didn’t want to open a packet of crisps because I have now decided to start watching my height again. Hahaha! I made my own garlic and salted baked yam chips instead.

All you need to make this easy peasy healthy snacks is you, your puna yam or any other kind of yams like sweet potatoes, a sharp knife or slicer or mandolin and any spices of choice. Oh! and oven and if you don’t have an oven, simply fry the yam chips and eat less, lol. To make these chips healthier, use dehydrator or oven fryer.

      Store in an airtight container. I am not sure if it would last up to a month as it’s not fried. Hopefully it should be fine if the yam is thinly sliced
