Sweet potato chips from the store often sneak in sunflower oil, sesame, or other seed-derived ingredients that make label-reading feel like a full-time job. These homemade rounds skip all of that entirely, relying on coconut oil and a handful of pantry staples to deliver a genuinely satisfying crunch. The secret is slicing the potatoes paper-thin and patting them completely dry before they ever hit the oven ā that extra step is what separates truly crispy chips from sad, chewy ones. Ground Ceylon cinnamon brings a softer, more floral warmth than the standard supermarket variety, and it pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the potato. A drizzle of honey before baking is optional but adds a subtle caramelized edge that makes these feel almost indulgent. They come out of the oven looking a little soft, but a few minutes on the cooling rack transforms them into the snappy, golden chips you're after. Once you've made a batch, it's genuinely hard to go back to anything from a bag.

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.
