How to Make Sweet Potato Chips
Making Sweet Potato Chips is easy. Just follow a few simple steps:
- Cut sweet potato into thin slices
- Combine olive oil, sea salt, and chili powder in a bowl
- Toss the sweet potato slices in the mixture
- Arrange on baking sheet in a single layer
- Bake chips in the oven for 10 minutes, flip, & roast another 10 minutes
- Broil for a couple of minutes to make them nice and crispy
Serve your baked sweet potato chips while they’re hot and fresh, and add some ranch or other dipping sauces for extra flavor!
You can make these homemade Sweet Potato chips as thick or as thin as you’d like. The thinner you cut them, the crispier they’ll be!
A few tips for making these baked chips:
I think I will make them a bit thinner next time I make these (I will be making these again…and again…and again). They worked out just fine at about 1/4 inch thick…but I think I would like them better if they were slightly thinner & crispier.
I found that after baking the potato chips in the oven for 10 minutes on each side, it worked best to then broil them on high for a couple minutes (watch them carefully or they will get really burnt). This just amps up the crispiness a bit and makes them even tastier!
If you love potato chips, expand your horizons with these Homemade Sweet Potato Chips. These baked chips are healthy and delicious! I have a feeling you’ll love them as much as we do! You can feel great about feeding them to your family, and they’re oh so easy to make! Win win if you ask me!
Why are my Sweet Potato Chips not crispy?
If your Baked Sweet Potato Chips don’t come out crispy, they might be too thick or might be undercooked. You might like them a little thicker…like a sweet potato steak fry…it’s all up to you! But if it’s crispy you crave, make sure you’re cutting the chips SUPER thin and letting them cook long enough. You can even slide them under the broiler for a bit to crisp them up even more.
If you don’t have one, you should invest (they’re pretty inexpensive…between $19-99) in a mandoline slicer. You can slice all kinds of veggies super thin without fear of slicing off a finger or thump. Worth it if you ask me! Here are some of our favorite Mandoline Slicers. (I have the Air Kitchen Brand and like it quite a bit)

Would it kill you to put a temperature in there somewhere, you know, after you finish you story and repeatedly telling everyone how good they are?
It’s in the recipe card! You can always hit “recipe” at the top of the page and it’ll take you right to it! It’s 425 :)
Jeez… would it kill you to not be so rude!
Have you tried making these in an air fryer? I bet they would turn out great
I haven’t yet, but I’ll be sure to try it! Great idea!
I’ve been craving chips. This should satisfy.
Trust me, they will!
These look amazing! I probably just missed this but I didn’t see what you heat the oven to? Thank you!
Hi Justine. These should cook at 425 in the oven. :)
Very good, but 10 minutes is too long (I did slice mine thin). I don’t mind burnt, so gave the less burnt to my husband :)
So glad you loved the recipe!
Fantastic! I’ve been making this very often for the last month or so.
So happy to hear that!
very simple recipe and easy to learn, thanks but can I bake mine in microwave oven please
These look yummy! What is the dipping sauce you have in the photos that looks like thousand island?
Hi! We used honey mustard but honestly I love ketchup or ranch with these!
What is the serving size for this recipe?
It works out to about 1 sweet potato per person, sliced. So it depends on how thinly you make the slices :)
I do them like that but I put olive oil, Italian seasoning, a little salt, Garlic pepper and bake until just done. They are delicious.
ooooo that sounds delicious!! I’ll have to try them like that next time! Thanks Lola!
