light olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying chilli coconut salt

¼ cup shredded coconut

2 tsp sea salt flakes

1 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp chilli flakes

3Half fill a medium saucepan or wok with oil and heat over medium heat until hot. Cook the sweet potato in batches, for 2 - 3 minutes until light golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove to a wire rack sitting over a baking tray.

4Sprinkle crisps with a little salt as they come from the oil. Repeat until all sweet potato crisps are cooked, reheating the oil between batches as needed.
