Sweet Raw Yam chips

A Sweet and Salty Raw Food Snack!

Ingredients:
  • 3 yams
  • cold-pressed olive oil
  • 1 tsp palm sugar
  • Dash of cinnamonHimalayan salt
Tools:
Dehydrator with Teflon sheets

Mandoline Slicer

Oil Sprayer

Recipe: 


Peal Yams or Sweet Potatoes, then using the Mandoline, slice them as thinly as possible. With a Misto sprayer, spritz olive oil on the yams. You can also massage oil into yams to make sure each is well coated.  I sprayed the teflon sheet and rubbed each side of each slice.

Mix palm sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl and sprinkle over yams. Dehydrate at 115°F for about 12 hours or until the chips are crispy. 

I made one sheet with just plain Himalayan salt, and one with the cinnamon mixture. They're both delicious!  My slicer wouldn't slice them quite as thin as I wanted them, so some were more like kettle chips while the thinner ones were crispy.
