Lupin 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. Coconut oil gives each thin round a beautifully light crunch, while rosemary, thyme, and a touch of turmeric make the flavor anything but ordinary. The mandoline technique is the real secret here — slicing the sweet potatoes to a uniform 1/16-inch thickness means every chip bakes evenly and crisps up properly rather than turning leathery or soft in the middle. Store-bought chips and snack mixes can be a minefield when you're avoiding lupin, which sneaks into all kinds of processed foods as flour or protein powder, so making your own from scratch puts you fully in control. Every ingredient in this recipe is straightforward and naturally free of that concern, with no hidden fillers or coatings to second-guess. A final scatter of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and brightness right before serving. These are best eaten warm off the rack, but honestly, they rarely last long enough to cool down completely.

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.
