Sweet potato chips from a bag almost always come loaded with "natural and artificial flavors" that you never asked for, making it weirdly hard to find a simple snack that tastes like what it actually is. This homemade version keeps things refreshingly honest ā just thinly sliced sweet potatoes, coconut oil, Ceylon cinnamon, sea salt, and a drizzle of honey if you want a little extra sweetness. Ceylon cinnamon in particular has a softer, more floral warmth than the standard cassia variety, and it shines here without any synthetic flavor boosters to muddy it. The real trick is slicing the rounds as uniformly thin as possible and patting them completely dry before they go into the oven, which is what gives you that satisfying, paper-thin crunch rather than a chewy, sad chip. They come out of the oven looking almost too soft to believe, but a few minutes on the cooling rack transforms them into something genuinely snack-worthy. Once you realize how easy it is to make a chip this clean and this good, the store-bought bag starts to feel like a real downgrade.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set a wire cooling rack over one of them if you have one.
Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch thickness, or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into rounds as uniformly thin as possible. Pat the slices dry with paper towels ā the drier the slices, the crisper the chips.
