Artificial Food Coloring Free Garlic Herb Sweet Potato Chips
Crispy, golden, and fragrant with garlic and fresh herbs, these oven-baked sweet potato chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable — sweet potatoes, coconut oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and a pinch of turmeric for warmth — so there's no guessing what's actually in the bag. That matters a lot when you're trying to avoid the synthetic dyes that show up in so many packaged chip options, often without much fanfare on the label. The turmeric gives a subtle golden hue the completely natural way, and the fresh herbs make each bite smell like something from a proper kitchen rather than a factory floor. Slicing the potatoes thin and baking them on a wire rack is the real trick to getting that satisfying crunch without any additives doing the heavy lifting. A final scatter of fresh parsley keeps the finish bright and clean. These are the kind of chips you can hand to anyone at the table without a second thought.

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.
