1. Step
Make the sweet potato chips: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step
Cut the sweet potato into ⅛ (3 mm) thick slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.

In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until well coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Step
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Let the sweet potato chips cool to room temperature.
