Why Everyone Loves This Recipe
These chips offer a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors. The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes pairs beautifully with warm cinnamon, making a snack that feels both comforting and unique. They are crispy, tasty, and a healthier alternative to regular chips.
Directions
Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and lightly grease two baking sheets. Lay the sweet potato slices out in a single layer on the sheets so they don’t overlap. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Then, brush this flavorful mixture generously over each sweet potato slice. Pop the trays into the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges start to curl up and the chips look crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, and once done, let them cool a bit before enjoying.

Best Pairings For This Dish
Enjoy these chips on their own as a sweet snack or pair them with a creamy dip like Greek yogurt mixed with honey. They also make a great side for breakfast dishes or can be sprinkled on top of salads for a crunchy twist.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crisp. Avoid refrigerating, as moisture can make them soggy. They are best eaten within a few days for optimal freshness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

How thin should I slice the sweet potatoes?
Aim for slices about 1/8 inch thick to ensure they crisp up well.
Can I make these chips ahead of time?
They’re best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat briefly to regain crispiness.
What can I use instead of melted butter?
You can substitute melted coconut oil or olive oil for a dairy-free option.
How do I prevent the chips from sticking to the baking sheet?
Lightly grease the baking sheets or use parchment paper before placing the slices.
Can I add other spices besides cinnamon?
Yes, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice work well for a warm flavor twist.
Should I flip the chips while baking?
Flipping is optional; you can bake them on one side, but flipping halfway can help even crisping.
How do I know when the chips are done?
Look for curled edges and a crispy texture; they should feel firm without softness.
