Prep and Slice
  1. Arrange oven racks in upper and lower thirds. Preheat to 300°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes in half crosswise. Using a mandoline, slice into ⅛-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a large bowl, toss slices with olive oil until coated.
Bake the Chips
  1. Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer on baking sheets. Spray tops lightly with olive oil spray and season with kosher salt.

  3. Increase oven to 400°F. Flip chips, return to oven for 5 minutes. Rotate sheets front to back and top to bottom, bake another 5 minutes.
  4. Remove sheets. Transfer any browned chips to a wire rack. Flip remaining slices again and bake 3–5 minutes more, until firm and crisp.
  5. Transfer all chips to rack and season with more salt while warm.
