2. 2
   Wash the sweet potatoes and place them in the steamer basket.
   ▶ ≈1:53

   Steam over medium-high heat for about 30 minutes. Test doneness with a wooden skewer—it should pierce through easily. If not fully cooked, continue steaming for another 10-20 minutes.

7. 7
   Arrange the sweet potato slices on the dehydrator basket.
   ▶ ≈5:49
8. 8
   Dehydrate for 8 to 12 hours. Flip the slices over after about 4-5 hours. They should become darker and firm with a chewy, jellylike texture when fully dried.
