Sweet potato chips can feel like a minefield when you're watching fructose intake, since so many packaged versions are loaded with sweeteners or mystery seasonings that send levels soaring. This homemade version keeps things beautifully in check — sweet potatoes are naturally lower in fructose than many other root vegetables, and the small amount of pure maple syrup used here is spread across the entire batch, keeping each serving well within a manageable range. Coconut oil, fresh sage, ground ginger, and turmeric do the heavy lifting on flavor, so you're not relying on sugar to make these taste incredible. The key to getting that satisfying crunch is slicing the rounds paper-thin and patting them completely dry before they ever hit the oven — moisture is the enemy of a crispy chip. Baking them in a single layer and flipping halfway through ensures even caramelization without any soggy spots. A final sprinkle of flaky sea salt right before serving pulls everything together and makes these feel genuinely snack-worthy. Once you've made a batch, it's hard to go back to anything from a bag.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set a wire cooling rack over one of them if you have one.
Using a mandoline set to 1/16-inch thickness, or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into rounds as uniformly thin as possible. Pat the slices dry with paper towels — the drier the slices, the crisper the chips.
