How to make sweet potato skin chips

Sweet potatoes: You’re going to be using just the skins for this recipe, but save the sweet potato flesh for another use (such as to make my Maple Sweet Potato Soup).
Oil: Use a neutral oil like avocado or extra virgin olive oil.
Salt: To taste (you can’t have chips without salt, imo!).
Dried rosemary: Optional, but adds an earthy touch.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Peel the sweet potatoes using a paring knife, creating large skins with just a little flesh attached. (Set aside sweet potato flesh for another use.)
Place the sweet potato skins on a baking sheet and toss with oil and salt.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, until skins and crispy and brown. Allow to cool.
Sprinkle with dried rosemary (if using).

Instead of sweet potatoes: Use white potato varieties like Yukon or red skin.
For the oil: Use any neutral oil you have on hand.
- My favorite is avocado oil.
- Olive oil also works well.

Soooo delicious! Will definitely make again and try with beets. I did have a question. I put seasoning on before baking and want more to stick after baking…. any tips?

  I’m glad you loved them, Sabrina! Beet skin chips would be amazing. 🙂 I’d recommend seasoning them immediately after they come out of the oven – the oil will still be hot and will help the seasoning stick to them.
