2-4 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into wedges
1 tbsp oil
1-2 tsp Rick's Rub™ Heat seasoning, or to taste

1. ​Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400F
2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into wedges. Be careful with the knife, sweet potatoes are tough to cut through!

4. Place seasoned sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket and bake for 15-20 mins or until browned. Watch carefully, the natural sugars in the sweet potato will burn if cooked for too long!

2 large zucchini, thinly sliced
1 Tbs oil
Rick's Rub Original

METHOD:

1. Preheat oven to 235F.
2. Place zucchini slices between layers of paper towel and press with baking sheet to squeeze out some of the moisture.
3. Place parchment on baking sheets and lightly brush oil where the chips will be placed. Place the chips on the parchment and brush with oil. Sprinkle Rick's Rub Original (or your favourite Rick's Rub seasoning) over zucchini chips .
4. Bake for 1.5-2 hours until golden and crisp. Check the chips periodically to ensure they do not burn. If the chips are still flimsy, remove crisp chips from sheet and return to oven for a few more minutes.

Finish with a sprinkle of coarse salt, if desired. Allow chips to cool and store in an air-tight container. 

Who are we kidding? These chips will be devoured before they reach the container!
