MelissaBlack Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Tried making them with coconut cream (melted) on 450 for about 10 min on each side. They were a disaster! Any pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrustdc Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Be more specific. In what way were they disastrous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelissaBlack Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 they were not crispy at all - should they be?? they were more chewy, some of them were half burnt and half barely cooked it seemed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrustdc Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I had a really hard time making chips in the oven (and have the burn to prove it). They needed to be super thin (if you have a mandoline that's ideal), and it had to be just the right amount of oil. Too much and they were chewy or soggy, too little and they were dry or burned. And your oven may heat unevenly if you had uniform thickness but ended up with some burned and some too raw. Keep trying, and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgedurso Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wouldn't they need to be made with coconut OIL, rather than cream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea D. Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'd say use coconut oil rather than coconut cream...they should crisp up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriciaLo14 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I love sweet potatoes sliced thin, placed in the microwave with a drizzle of olive oil and some sea salt. It's not go to w any meal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriciaLo14 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh I usually do 4-5 minutes, flip, another 2 and take it from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I've made them often (and turnip chips), but have never put any oil on them at all. Just spices when I'm in the mood and a little sea salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
