Artificial Flavors Free Garlic Herb Sweet Potato Chips
Crispy, golden, and fragrant with real garlic and fresh herbs, these oven-baked sweet potato chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — sweet potato, coconut oil, rosemary, thyme, and a pinch of turmeric for that warm, earthy color. No flavor packets, no mystery seasonings, just whole ingredients you can actually read and recognize. That matters more than it sounds, because most store-bought chips rely heavily on artificial flavoring to mimic the taste of real herbs and spices — this recipe just uses the real thing instead. The technique is straightforward: slice thin, coat evenly, and give the chips enough space on the pan so they bake up dry and crisp rather than steaming into something soft. Pulling individual chips as they finish ensures nothing burns, and that five-minute rest on the rack is where the real crunch develops. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and you've got a snack that's genuinely impressive without a single shortcut ingredient in sight.

4 servings
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb total), scrubbed
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set a wire rack on top of each, if available — this promotes airflow and crisper edges.

Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch (about 1.5 mm) or a very sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into rounds as uniformly thin as possible. Uniform thickness is the single most important factor for even baking — thicker slices will stay chewy while thinner ones crisp.
