Homemade sweet potato chips are a snack for the whole family to enjoy.

Homemade crispy sweet potato chips are the best! 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.

What to dip sweet potato chips in?

  • Tomato salsa
  • Sweet chilli sauce
  • Guacamole
  • Aioli
  • Hummus
  • Chutney

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)

    I adore your easy recipes Janelle. At first I thought these were normal potatoes, I didn't realize there are white sweet potatoes
