Make perfectly crunchy, healthy sweet potato chips in your oven. This recipe focuses on thin slicing and proper baking to avoid sogginess, offering a guilt-free alternative to fried snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Do not skip the parchment paper; it helps prevent sticking and promotes crispness.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible, aiming for 1/16 inch thickness. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform thinness. If you do not have one, slice carefully by hand.
  3. Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss gently until all slices are lightly coated.
  4. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overlap the slices; overcrowding leads to steaming and sogginess. Work in batches if necessary.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully flip each chip.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, watching closely during the last few minutes. The chips are done when the edges are slightly curled and they feel firm and crisp.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up more as they cool.
  8. If you want an alternative method, you can make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips by tossing the coated slices with 1 teaspoon of oil, placing them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and cooking at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, soak the sliced potatoes in ice water for 30 minutes before drying them completely. Pat them very dry with paper towels before oiling.
  • If you are looking for simple recipes for everyday meals, this is a great option.
  • These chips are naturally gluten free and vegan.
  • If you are trying to manage your diet, these are a better choice than many store-bought options, unlike relying on meal planning services.
