Why I love these baked sweet potato chips!
I find that these baked sweet potato chips are the perfect savoury snack when I’m feeling peckish, but trying to avoid all things sweet. Their crispiness makes them the perfect dipping vehicle and as a huge fan of avocados, think they are perfectly paired with guacamole.
Some other reasons why these chips are brilliant:
- Get your fibre fix: a wonderful source of dietary fibre, especially when you include the skin. There are 6 grams of dietary fibre in each medium potato. Including sufficient dietary fibre in your diet helps achieve optimum dietary health
- Health benefits: sweet potatoes are naturally high in an anti-oxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts to Vitamin A once consumed
Whilst I have suggested these as a great savoury snack, they would also make a wonderful side dish.
BAKED SWEET POTATO CHIPS – Recipe notes
** The length of time the potatoes will need in the oven will be totally dependent on the efficiency of your oven. Keep a close eye on the potatoes, as the timings I have given are estimates based on my oven
** If you want to make more portions of this recipe, just multiply the recipe accordingly
baked sweet potato chips – recipe ADAPTIONS
** If you aren’t keen on sweet potatoes you could swap for regular potatoes (something like a Maris Piper), or you could try doing the same with carrots or parsnips, cooking them in a similar way, just the cooking times will vary.
** Try a plant based sour cream or hummus if avocados aren’t your thing or you just want some dipping sauce variety. Or even making a quick tomato salsa if you want those extra veggies
** You could vary the spice on the chips – cayenne pepper or a milder mixed herb mix would work well

2 Avocados, mashed

1 Lime, juiced
Small handful of coriander, finely chopped

- Once 15 minutes is up, take the potatoes out of the oven.
Turn each potato slice and pop back into the oven for another 15 – 25 minutes but you are aiming for a golden crunchy chip - Make the guacamole by mixing together the avocado, cherry tomatoes, lime, coriander, salt and pepper (you can also add chilli flakes for some spice if you like your guacamole with a bit of heat)
- ENJOY dipping the potato rounds in the guacamole! These are perfect enjoyed either hot or cold. I just guarantee they won’t last long
