January’s
Recipe ReDux theme is “Start Smoking In The New Year"- centering around trendy spicy and smoky
flavored foods! We were encouraged
to “heat up the New Year with smoke and spiciness.” One of the suggested
ingredients to do this with was smoked paprika and I was immediately intrigued
because I love regular paprika. So, I sent my husband out to the store to hunt
some down and started thinking of how I could use it. I have been wanting to do a sweet potato chip recipe for
some time now so I decided to try my luck with adding some smoked paprika to
them, with a little bit of salt and olive oil- the result? Meh…. I thought they lacked something, possibly a sweetness to
combo with the spice so for batch two I added some brown sugar to the mix and
WHAM it became a killer recipe…so killer that my husband (who doesn’t even like
sweet potatoes), inhaled a bunch after tasting them- score! This is a really
simple recipe to make and it works nicely as a snack or a side. My daughter digs them too :) So go on and preheat the oven, get slicin’ and sprinklin’ to
try some out and take a look at all the smoky and spicy creations that the rest
of the Recipe ReDux group has cooked up to ring in 2015 as well!
