Ingredients
- 16 ounces sweet potatoes-about three small sweet potatoes. It’s best to weigh them after you peel and cut them.

Notes
The thinner the slices the faster they cook. If your slices are thicker, they will need to cook longer. I like to peel my sweet potatoes. However, you don’t have to peel them.
