Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of potato?
Yes, but the flavor and texture will change. Sweet potatoes have a natural sweetness and softer texture that works well for chips. Regular potatoes can be used, but they may need different baking times.
Why are my chips not crispy?
This usually happens if the slices are too thick or if they overlap on the baking sheet. Make sure they’re thin and spaced out. Also, let them cool completely before storing to maintain crispiness.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Absolutely! Air fryer sweet potato chips are a great option. Just reduce the cooking time and check frequently to avoid burning. They usually take 10–15 minutes at 375°F.
Are these chips gluten-free?
Yes! Sweet potatoes are naturally gluten-free, and this recipe doesn’t include any flour or breading. Just be sure your spices are also gluten-free if you’re sensitive.
How do I keep them from burning?
Watch them closely after the 15-minute mark. Every oven is different, so rotate trays and check frequently. Using parchment paper also helps prevent burning on the bottom.
