Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Chips are thinly sliced sweet potatoes coated with olive oil, then baked in the oven. Resistance is futile!
My daughter-in-law has given us the nickname, “the condiment family.” Now that I think about it, she may be right.
We love to dip. Not the nasty kind of dip that rots out your lower lip. We’re talking about various condiments like mustard, ketchup, ranch dressing, sweet and sour sauce, salsa, etc.
What is a good dip for Sweet Potato Fries?
We love MayoChup. We also love it with French fries (and just about everything else, too). It’s sold in the same aisle as mayonnaise, steak sauce, etc.
Frozen sweet potato fries vs. crispy baked sweet potato chips:
Frozen sweet potato fries from the store are excellent and straightforward to prepare. But if you would rather have half the calories for just a little more effort, these chips are delicious.
They do require attention in the oven, however, as some will cook more quickly than others due to slight irregularities in thickness. Perfection is overrated!
How to prepare sweet potato slices:
See how thin those slices are? You need a mandolin to do this easily. The one pictured is older and still available, but I have and love the one linked to previously and recommend it.
If you don’t get the potatoes sliced thin enough, they won’t get crispy. Of course, you can try with a sharp knife. A food processor with a thin slicing attachment would also work.
What Do You Serve with Crispy Sweet Potato Chips?
Chicken Salad or Ham Salad is particularly tasty when served on top of sweet potato chips.

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Homemade sweet potato chips baked in the oven turn out crispy when sliced thin and given a light coating of oil.
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato (5 inches long)
- 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or use a silicone baking sheet (my choice) or parchment paper. Slice the sweet potatoes into very thin slices.
- In a large bowl, toss potato slices with oil and salt to coat lightly. Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Turn over each chip and bake for 5 minutes more or until chips are crisp. Watch carefully at the end so they don't burn.

Hi Sue, I'm assuming you just add a little bit of curry to some mayonnaise. Sounds really good. Must try. Thanks for sharing.

I found your blog through pinterest. I like BBQ sauce with my sweet potatoes.
We recently went to a restaurant that served sweet potato fries, they had "marshmallow fluff" as the fries dipping sauce, I did NOT like it.

Jen, BBQ sauce? I know my husband would go for that. I agree with you on the marshmallow fluff.
