In My Veg Kitchen: Yummy Yam Chips

I stared down a couple of yams on my kitchen counter

It’s always easy to go with something familiar and something you know. I thought about making yam fries or simply steaming the yams for the week. 

In a rare moment of brilliance, I decided to make yam chips. I knew I could make them in the oven but I knew my dehydrator was more than up for the task.

I regularly make apple and banana chip but I have never tried my hand at potato chips. I knew it wouldn’t be much different than slicing up apples or bananas. 

The next day I surprised my coworkers with a batch. They were a hit! 

While sweet potatoes and yams are used interchangeably, they come from different plant families. Nutritionally they both pack a healthy punch. These are great options for those of you who love the crunch of a potato chip without all the fat and calories. 

So if you’re in the mood for a healthy alternative to store-bought chips, why not try yam chips? (I am sure you could probably make them in a traditional oven if you do not own a dehydrator.)
