Fructose 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. Sweet potatoes can be tricky on a low-fructose plan since many snack foods are loaded with hidden sugars or high-fructose ingredients, but this recipe keeps things clean with just a handful of whole, straightforward ingredients. Coconut oil, rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric do all the heavy lifting, delivering serious flavor without any sweeteners or problematic additives. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing the rounds paper-thin and giving each one enough room on the pan — no overlapping, no shortcuts. A wire rack underneath encourages airflow so the edges crisp up beautifully rather than steaming. They firm up even more as they cool, so resist the urge to eat them straight off the pan — though that's admittedly very hard to do.

4 servings
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb total), scrubbed
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

- 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.
