Kumara Chips
Kumara chips are delicious but they are starchy carbohydrates so it’s sensible not to go overboard with them. With that said, a handful will keep you sated and happy.
Serves 1-2
Ingredients:
- 1 kumara / sweet potato
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Himalayan rock salt
- Nutmeg or rosemary (optional)
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Slice the kumara into wedges or slices, whichever you prefer.
- Brush them with oil. We like to pop the oil in a bag, then add the kumara and shake it to make sure they’re nice and covered.
- Sprinkle with Himalayan rock salt and herbs.
- Bake for 40 minutes, 20 minutes each side.
Enjoy the deliciousness!
