Baked Sweet Potato Chips
One of my favorite things to do is to make homemade chips. My favorite version of homemade chips is paleo baked sweet potato chips. They are crispy, flavorful, and best of all they are easy to make with minimal ingredients.
I like to make up a big batch of these sweet potato chips on the weekend and snack on them throughout the week.
There are so many ways to eat them! Eat them plain. Eat them with salsa. Use them as the base for some delicious nachos. The choice is yours!
No matter how you eat them, you will definitely enjoy them!
How to Make Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Alright! Let’s get into how to make these delicious chips!
The first thing you want to do is preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Use a mandoline to cut sweet potatoes into super thin ¼-inch slices.
Pile sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Gently toss to coat, then spread rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle chips lightly with salt (and pepper, if using).
Bake for 10 minutes, flip, then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes (depending on size & thickness) until chips are crispy and golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container!
Are Sweet Potato Chips Crispy?
They sure are! Sometimes people imagine things like sweet potato chips or zucchini chips being soggy but they really aren’t!
If you bake them correctly, then they are nice and crispy – just the way you like them! In fact, they are the perfect consistency to layer on a nice spread as well. Be sure to check out this delicious pimento cheese spread or this green olive dip. You can thank me later!
Can I Use Other Spices?
You definitely can use other spies! Experiment and use your favorite spices!
I love to sprinkle some garlic salt on these sometimes. They are very versatile and any spice you love that you think tastes good with sweet potatoes will most likely work perfectly!
I’ve been tempted to try Everything But the Bagel seasoning and will update the post when I do!
How to Store Baked Sweet Potato Chips?
You will want to store these in an airtight container.
Now, do they need to be refrigerated? Not really. But I generally err on the safe and suggest that people store them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life.
Are Baked Sweet Potato Chips Keto Friendly?
My answer is yes.
I know there are some folks out there who will turn their nose up at sweet potatoes claiming they are too high in carbs. My answer is always that the keto lifestyle is individual and I am a proponent of cyclical keto which includes higher HEALTHY carb days which always include sweet potatoes for me. And even if you don’t participate in cyclical keto, smaller portions of sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips can fit into keto macros!
Another fantastic sweet potato idea for your cyclical keto days is air fryer sweet potato wedges for a delicious side dish or snack.
