Sweet Potato Chips

Fried food tastes so good. It is a treat for me occasionally. We all know that it is not the healthiest food. But how do we make it healthier?

Peanut oil is a good candidate. It has a smoking temperature of 400 degree and from healthy nuts. With cooking temperature of 375 degree and very thin slices, here is the result. They are crunchy!
