- Why are my chips soft?
- They were too thick or the oven was too steamy. Slice paper-thin and ensure they don't overlap on the tray!
Baked Sweet Potato Chips with Spicy Dip
Forget bagged chips! Sweet potatoes caramelize as they bake, becoming simultaneously sweet, salty, crispy, and meltingly soft. Homemade means you control the oil and spice. Smoky paprika provides a deep counterpoint to the tuber's natural sugar.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or 350°F with convection.
Tip: Convection helps dry out the chips for maximum crunch.
2
✓
Wash sweet potatoes and slice paper-thin (1-2 mm).
Tip: A mandoline slicer is essential for consistent thickness. Uneven slices result in some burning while others stay soft.
3
✓
Toss slices in a bowl with oil, paprika, garlic, and salt.
Tip: Use your hands to ensure every slice is coated in a thin layer of oil.
4
✓
Spread in a SINGLE LAYER on the baking sheet. Do not overlap!
Tip: Overlapping traps steam, causing the chips to steam rather than roast.
5
✓
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Tip: Watch closely in the final minutes; sugar burns in a flash!
6
✓
Mix the dip: yogurt, lemon juice, chili, parsley.
