Fiery Sweet Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Add the coconut oil to a large skillet. Add enough vegetable oil to come about a third of the way up the sides of the skillet and heat over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, cayenne and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Add the plantain slices to the oil in batches and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and smash to a chip size with a wooden mallet or rolling pin. Return the plantains to the oil in small batches again so they do not stick together and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chips to the towel-lined baking sheet and top with the seasoning mixture.

Steps:

• In a heavy Dutch oven, heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 320 degrees F (use a thermometer to keep the temp right!).
• Trim the tops off the sweet potatoes and finely slice into rounds using a mandoline or knife. Pat them dry with kitchen paper.
• Mix together the garlic salt, black pepper, paprika, chipotle, cayenne and kosher salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• Lower a batch of potatoes into the oil with a spatula. Cook, stirring frequently, until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle on some of the spice mix. Cook the remaining batch.

Steps:

• Place the chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until the chips are warm to the touch, yet still very crunchy, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, toast the sriracha seasoning in a small dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, mix in the sugars, then add to the hot chips and toss until evenly and generously coated. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each cayenne and black pepper in a bowl. Spread 12 cups potato and/or vegetable chips on 2 baking sheets. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven until oily-looking, about 5 minutes. Toss with the spices and bake 2 more minutes. Let cool.

Steps:

• Mix sweet potatoes and milk together in a bowl. Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a separate bowl. Remove a few sweet potato slices at a time, allowing excess milk to drip offl; dip the slices into the flour mixture. Place the coated sweet potatoes on a plate. Repeat with remaining sweet potatoes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
• Fry the coated sweet potatoes, working in 2 to 3 batches, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain chips on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Steps:

• Special equipment: deep-fry thermometer, mandoline slicer
• Pour oil to a depth of 4 inches in a heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Mix the salt, sugar, chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl and set aside. Very thinly slice the sweet potatoes on a mandoline slicer and carefully drop into the hot oil in batches, being careful to not overcrowd the pan. Deep-fry until golden around edges, 45 seconds to 1 minute, and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the chips with seasoning while they are still hot and let cool to crisp. Remove the chips from the baking sheet to a serving bowl and eat immediately while still crunchy!

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
• Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Add the sliced sweet potatoes to the hot oil and fry, in batches, until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray and immediately sprinkle with the seasoning mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In small bowl microwave margarine and water at 100% power for 15 seconds or until margarine melts.
• Stir in brown sugar until smooth.
• Spread equal amounts of sugar mixture over top of each tortilla, leaving 1/2 inch border.
• Lightly sprinkle chips with cayenne pepper.
• Cut into 8 wedges.
• Arrange in single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until sugar melts and bubbles and chips feel firm.
• Cool before eating.
