Are you wondering why I’m telling you to cook flower petals? If you look carefully, you will see purple sweet potato slices!
I like trying to cook with new produce every chance that I get. I saw these at the grocery store and couldn’t resist! Then I realized that Blue Terra Chips® are probably from purple sweet potatoes so I decided to try making it myself. (Correction – Blue chips are made from blue potatoes, not purple sweet potatoes!)
It was so simple! All I did was use a vegetable peeler to peel the skin, then instead of using a knife, I continue using the peeler to cut thin slices.
After that, I spread out the slices on a baking sheet, making sure none of them overlap and then sprinkled with some sea salt. It baked in 375 oven for 6-7 minutes. Keep in mind that the thinner slices got cooked faster so you might have to take those out first. I made the chips with 3 small sized purple sweet potatoes, yielding about 3.5 cups total.
If you want the extra crunch, go ahead and fry them up in oil 
These were delicious baked though!!
