Paraben 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 slice a beautifully light crunch while carrying the garlic, rosemary, and thyme into every bite — no mystery additives, no synthetic preservatives, just real ingredients you can actually recognize. A pinch of turmeric adds a warm, earthy undertone and a gorgeous color that makes these look as good as they taste. For anyone navigating paraben-free living, store-bought chips and flavored snacks can be a minefield of synthetic preservatives and coatings, so making your own is genuinely the cleanest route. The mandoline technique is the real secret here — uniform, paper-thin slices mean every chip bakes evenly and crisps up properly rather than turning leathery. A final scatter of fresh parsley keeps the finish bright and herbaceous. Serve them straight off the rack while they're still warm and you'll have a hard time saving any for later.

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.
