Carrageenan Free Garlic Herb Sweet Potato Chips
Crispy, golden, and loaded with savory herb flavor, these oven-baked sweet potato chips are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Coconut oil gives each thin round a beautifully light crunch, while garlic, rosemary, and thyme make the whole kitchen smell incredible as they bake. A touch of turmeric adds a warm, earthy depth that takes these well beyond your average chip. Many packaged snacks and even some dairy-based dips rely on carrageenan as a thickener or stabilizer, so making your own from scratch is one of the cleanest ways to snack without second-guessing the ingredient list. Every component here is whole and straightforward — real vegetables, fresh herbs, and a single wholesome fat. The mandoline technique and wire rack setup are the real secrets to getting that satisfying crispness without any frying. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and serve them straight from the rack while they're still warm and at their absolute best.

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.
