METHOD

  1. Scrub the sweet potato skins under running water to remove all dirt. Dry well. Cut in half lengthwise, then into wedges.

  2. Place on a baking tray line with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven. Raise the temperature of the oven to 230˚C/ 450˚F/ Gas mark 8. When the oven is hot, place the sweet potatoes back in and bake for a further 15 minutes, or until golden and slightly charred on the edges.

  3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the spice mix. In a small frying pan, dry-toast the hazelnuts over medium heat for 4 minutes or until golden. Set aside. Dry-toast the sesame seeds and coconut for 1 ½ minutes or until golden. Set aside.

  4. When the nuts and seeds are cold, crush in a food processor, then mix. The consistency depends on your personal taste. You can crush it coarsely for extra texture, or to a fine powder but do not overmix or it will turn into a paste.

  5. You can also use a pestle and mortar or roughly chop the nuts and seeds with a sharp knife. Transfer into a bowl, add the spices and seasoning and mix well.

  6. Serve the sweet potato chips warm with Hellmann’s ketchup, Dukkah spice and chopped herbs.
