I actually made this last week, but just got around to posting the recipe now. The week's ingredient was potatoes, and it was chosen by Maria. Since I made this the night before Thanksgiving, I chose to work with sweet potatoes, which might be my favorite vegetable. I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com, for spicy sweet potato chips and gave it a go. I tried to slice my potatoes as thin as possible to get them crispy, but even the "thicker" pieces that did not crisp were delicious! I will definitely make this again.
Spicy Sweet Potato Chips
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into thin silces
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum oil and spray with cooking oil. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Brush the sweet potato slices with the maple syrup mixture on both sides and line on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for about five minutes and then turn the slices over, our any remaining maple syrup mixture and bake the other side three to four minutes. The edges should be crispy.

I make sweet potato chips a lot, just with olive oil, salt, and pepper. I want to try your recipe because I bet the flavors are great.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
