Description
An effective way to use up your sweet potato peelings rather than throwing them away.
Ingredients
Scale
- Peelings from 3 large sweet potatoes (about 80 to 100 g)
- 30 ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) Cajun spices
- A large pinch of salt
- water
Instructions
- Soak sweet potato skins in a bowl of water for about 10 minutes.
- Ideally, drain, rinse and dry the peels well. When I have time, I sometimes let them air-dry for a day. Otherwise, I use paper towels.
- Place peel, olive oil and spices in a dry bowl.
- Mix by hand to coat all peels with oil and spices.
- Arrange on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approx. 20 minutes. Toss or turn peels slightly halfway through cooking.
- Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and serve immediately.
- You can store them in an airtight dish for about 1 week.
Notes
You can use potato or carrot peels to replace the sweet potato peel.
You can replace the Cajun spices with chipotle if you like it spicy. If you prefer no hot pepper, you can use paprika or BBQ spices.
