Thinly sliced hearty sweet potatoes are roasted to create this guilt free fall snack, Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips!
Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips
With football season upon us, it's time to talk about some healthy snacks like these Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips. I'm not much of a snacker, but when I'm watching a game I love something munchy. We are Steelers and Gators fans in my house and win or lose football is always a pleasant and fun part of our fall.
My favorite thing to make when we watch a game is my Vegetarian Nachos, but I have to admit I’ve been in search of a less processed alternative to add to the mix.
After some trial and error (several rounds of BURNT chips!,) I’m thrilled with these homemade chips came out and am ready to add them to our football food rotation.
It takes a little time and love to make these babies, but they are truly a guilt free snack!
You start by thinly slicing the oven baked sweet potato chips with the mandolin.
Lightly coat the potato slices with olive oil and a dash of sea salt.
They slowly roast in the oven until they are dry and crispy!
The end result is something that is actually completely healthy and absolutely delicious!
Enjoy!
Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Toss sweet potato in the sea salt and olive oil. Use just enough olive oil to coat them, without drowning them.
- Roast in oven for 35-40 minutes, rotating racks and flipping the chips once.
- Watch carefully because oven's vary. You just want to roast the moisture out of them!
- Allow to cool and continue to crisp for 10 minutes before eating.

These look so great...I always struggle to get my chips crispy. Yet another season to try again! Love all the sweet potato recipes today 🙂
JulieWunder says
I found putting the over higher just burnt them and putting it lower just took way too long. This seems like the happy place 🙂 Have a great weekend!

I don't regularly watch football unless it just happens to be on and I need background noise! Your chips turned out so great! I love making my own sweet potato fries, but I need to try chips.
JulieWunder says
They are super tasty!

So yummy - sweet potato and zucchini chips are some of my favorite snacks to make at home!
JulieWunder says
Yum! Zucchini would be so good too! Have a great weekend!
Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says
These look so good and easy to make! I have a hard time slicing my potatoes thin enough. I only watch football when my husband puts it on....I enjoy it but I can't stay focused for a whole game:)
JulieWunder says
You need a mandolin! It's a game changer!
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
I love, love, love making my own sweet potato chips! Even if I may accidentally cut off a finger or two trying to slice them really thin. I should just invest in a mandolin slicer!
JulieWunder says
Yes! You need one! I can only imagine the cool things you would do with it!
Libby Haire says
At my house we love college football and watch games for different schools based on WHOM we knew who went there... it works until two teams oppose each other-ouch!
It is such a fun part of the season.
These chips look great. I hope I can get them thin enough, tho' no mandolin here and cannot wait till Christmas to try this.
Thanks for sharing this yummy looking idea, Julie, the Gator Girl!
JulieWunder says
That's fun too! I hope you enjoy them!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
I have never tried to make sweet potato chips before. In fact, I have a mandolin, but I never use it. Thanks for giving me a reason to break it out!
JulieWunder says
Yes! I never used to use my mandolin, but I'm coming around lately!
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
Definitely need to add these to our game day menu! We love sweet potato chips!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Jessica! Have a great weekend!
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I love sweet potatoes. This would be a great guilt free snack. Yum!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Lacey! I agree! Love your blog name 🙂
neil@neilshealthymeals.com says
These look amazing! 🙂
I just emailed Lynne (my other half) to see if I can add a mandolin slicer to my Christmas list. Along with a spiralizer and everything else that's on it. Lol!
I can see how these would give Lynne's potato chip habit, when she's sitting watching the TV, a healthier twist! Thank you.:D
JulieWunder says
haha! You will have all the best tools! I totally need a new blender-- too many smoothies 🙂
Morgan @ Morgan Manages Mommyhood says
I really, really need a mandolin. Like, now! I want to eat these asap!
JulieWunder says
I never thought I'd use one, but I love it. I do use the guard and protective gloves though-- I'm clumsy 🙂
Robin @ Simply Southern Baking says
Love sweet potato chips so I need to give these a try! I actually have some white sweet potatoes and may try it with those. As for football, I'm not a fan and don't watch it. If hubby has it on, I've usually got my nose in a magazine or am online browsing Pinterest. 🙂
JulieWunder says
haha! It is easy to get distracted. I can watch one game before I get up.

Thanks Deborah!
Heather @Fit n Cookies says
I love making sweet potato chips like these! I have to say most times I end up with at least a few that are burnt to a crisp. I try my best not to burn them but it's inevitable, haha.
JulieWunder says
I don't feel as bad then! I had the oven up too high at first!
Blane Sherer says
That's a nice chip alternative.
As for your question: yes I watch football ( College and Pro ).
I am a sports fan in general including football.
JulieWunder says
Me too! So much fun!
