Homemade crispy sweet potato chips are the bomb! Everyone loves crisps to snack on, so why not snack on the healthier version (as a bonus they are vegan).

These sweet potato chips are both sweet and salty, a fabulous combination.

I used the white variety of sweet potato, however, the orange and the purple varieties are equally good.

How to make sweet potato chips

Step 1 - Wash and dry sweet potato

Step 2 - Slice up as evenly & thinly as possible, best to use a mandolin slicer. I use this Gefu slicer*

Step 3 - In a mixing bowl, add sweet potato, olive oil and salt and thoroughly mix all together until sweet potato is completely coated

Step 4 - Place individual slices onto a lined baking tray

Step 5 - Bake in the oven until golden brown

Tips when making these crisps

Slices should be thin and not thick, around 2mm in thickness max

Keep a close eye on the sweet potato slices whilst baking as some will bake faster than others.

Pick out the baked ones and place on a wire rack to cool.

Turn the slices over once or twice until golden brown.

If you don't have a mandolin*, try using a peeler. A really good (sharp) mandolin however will make the world of difference; they are faster to work with.

Keep the oven as hot as possible

Best eaten fresh

I hope you enjoy these crisps, they are great on their own or you could use them to dip into your favourite dip.

My sweet potato chips are soggy

There could be a few reasons why this has happened;

You didn't bake them long enough (undercooked)
The oven function was set incorrectly
The slices were overlapped when placed on the tray to bake
They were stored in a container (or covered) whilst warm creating condensation
The chips aren't fresh anymore (best served immediately)
