These baked sweet potato chips are a great healthy side dish that I love to serve with just about anything! I coated these sweet potato chips in a delicious spice blend and then baked them in the oven for a healthier alternative to deep-fried potato chips. You can feel great about feeding them to your family, and they’re oh-so-easy to make with just 5 ingredients! Win-win if you ask me!
Sweet potato chips are a healthy favorite at our house. Pat is always asking me to put down the tacos, cheese dip, and brownies and make healthier options. His favorite recipe I make is my Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa , but this baked sweet potato chips recipe is a close second. I love how easy they are to make in just 30 minutes with only 5 ingredients! I have a feeling these healthy chips will be a huge hit in your house like they are in ours!
What’s in This Sweet Potato Chips Recipe?
- Sweet Potatoes: I used large sweet potatoes, but any size works. No need to peel them!
- Olive Oil : Helps the seasonings stick to the chips and helps them crisp in the oven. These are also great with avocado oil!
- Chili Powder: Adds a bit of a spicy kick to these chips.
- Kosher Salt: Enhances the natural flavor of the sweet potatoes.
- Seasoned Salt: A blend of salt, herbs, and spices that takes these chips to the next level. A little goes a long way– I only used a few pinches. My go-to brand is Lawry’s .
Tips for Success
- If you don’t have one, you should invest in a mandoline slicer. You can slice all kinds of veggies super thin without fear of slicing off a finger or thumb.
- I cut my chips to ¼ inch thick and they were great! But for an even crispier chip, I recommend ⅛ inch.
- Leave space between the chips so they crisp rather than steaming.
- 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 of minutes (watch them carefully or they will get really burnt). This just amps up the crispiness a bit and makes them even tastier!
- If your chips don’t come out crispy, they might be too thick or they might be undercooked. Make sure you’re cutting the chips super thin and letting them cook long enough.
- If some chips are burning while others aren’t crisping, check your oven temperature. You may have hot spots.
How to Store
Store leftover sweet potato chips in an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 1 week. They may start to soften after a few days, but I have had good luck popping them back in the oven for a few minutes to recrisp them.
Serving Suggestions
These baked sweet potato chips are the perfect side dish for everything from skillet steak to Italian subs and Philly cheesesteak sloppy joes . They’re also a great snack all by themselves with plenty of dipping sauces. Some of my favorites include fry sauce , ranch dressing , garlic aioili , and Chick Fil A sauce . I’m craving them just talking about them!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
