Crunchy, salty and sweet! Absolutely delicious baked red sweet potato chips. A gorgeous gluten free snack or side dish.

Red sweet potatoes have a lovely flavour and when the skin is left on there is a lovely crunch and chewiness that adds to the texture.

They can be a bit more expensive than the orange sweet potatoes but if l buy the really large funny shaped ones they are often quite cheap.

Wash the outside of the potato really well and then slice into chips with a sharp knife. I like to slice them length ways so the chips are really long. Place on a tray line with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Top with a generous sprinkle of sea salt. Place in a hot oven (200 degrees celcius) and bake until golden. You can turn them once while cooking if desired. Serve straight away and top with extra salt if desired.

Enjoy your golden and delicious chips.

1/2 cup rice malt syrup (1/3 cup honey or maple syrup can be substituted)

Have a taste now.

Roll into small balls using your hands.

This recipe makes approximately 20 balls.

These will go quite firm in the fridge if you are eating them within a day or two. Otherwise keep them in the freezer and eat them frozen or let them sit for a bit until they soften. Have one or two as a snack and enjoy.

These can be made in around 5 minutes. Vary the nuts and add different flavours that suit your tastes.
