Sweet Potato Chips

Ingredients: 2-3 sweet potatoes cut very thinly (I used a mandolin for this) 1-2 tsp melted coconut oil per sweet potato A generous amount of unrefined celtic salt

• Peel and slice sweet potatoes as thinly as possible.
• Place in a bowl and soak in water for 1 hour, changing the water at the half hour point.
• Place on a towel to dry a bit.
• Drizzle coconut oil on them. Stir and coat evenly.
• Generously season your sweet potatoes with unrefined sea salt.
• Place the sweet potatoes into a dehydrator and dehydrate at 145-155°F for about 12 hours.
• Check your potatoes periodically to get your desired crispness.
• If using an oven, turn on lowest setting and leave the door slightly open.
• Place sweet potatoes onto a cake cooking rack so that it gets proper ventilation on all sides.
• Cook until desired crispness.

Zucchini Chips

Ingredients: 5 cups zucchini 2-3 tablespoons coconut oil 1 teaspoon celtic salt Seasonings to your taste - garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, etc.

• Wash zucchini and cut off ends. Slice zucchini easiest way for you. I use a food processor or mandolin slicer to get the slices even.
• Place zucchini in a bowl. Add oil and toss with hands to coat evenly so sliced don't stick together. Add spices and toss.
• Place in a dehydrator in a single layer. Dehydrating time depends on your machine and how thick your zucchini slices are cut. Put on in the evening and by morning they are done!
