Ingredients
- 4 small sweet potatoes , rinsed, sliced into 1/8th-inch slices
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Fine Pink Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Slice sweet potatoes (it helps if you use a mandolin slicer, but you may also be able to accomplish this with a peeler or knife.
- Place the slices in a large mixing bowl. Toss sweet potatoes with oil until both sides of sweet potato slices are lightly coated.
- Place sweet potatoes evenly across 1-2 baking sheets. Spreading out is key here – it allows air to circulate around the chips, ensuring their crunchiness. Leave at least 1/2 an inch between pieces.
- Bake 10 minutes. Turn chips to other side. Bake additional 10 minutes or until crisp.

Meh. Not great. Not terrible. 3 Stars
I have made these several times. While they are always good, they are more like roasted thin slivered potatoes, and not crispy chips. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong (and no one is in the kitchen with me so you can’t really tell, I know!). Good, but not crispy? ::shrug::
Well some potatoes (yams vs sweets) are more sugary and moist than others and that could mean you are not making them thin enough to crisp — but one word for ya — airfryer. I’ve made these also, the exact recipe. I toss them with the bit of oil in the bowl (or use a sprayer), but instead of laying them out flat to bake, I toss them in my airfryer w hich is really only a countertop convection oven, honestly. So, I take out the basket and shake it up a few times, making sure they jumble around (some do break), but I keep doing that and they crisp up in no time, to make crunchy chips.
