These sweet potato chips are a delicious and healthier alternative to regular potato chips! With minimal ingredients in this recipe, it can be a simple snack to make. You can make a big batch and save some for later or put into lunch bags. I like these sweet potato chips because they are made with coconut oil instead of an unhealthy oil like soy or canola.
Sweet Potato Chips fried with Coconut Oil
These sweet potato chips are a delicious and healthier alternative to regular potato chips! With minimal ingredients in this recipe, it can be a simple snack to make.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup coconut oil you may need to add more after frying some chips
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel the skin off the sweet potatoes. Cut into thin slices. I used a small 6.5 inch cast iron skillet so that the potatoes could be fully submerged in the oil. If you are using a larger pan you may need to use more oil. Luckily, you can save your used oil for a later use! Just strain it through a cheesecloth to get any residue out.
- In a shallow pan heat the coconut oil. When it is hot put in a few sweet potato slices. Try not to overlap the slices to much or it may not fry properly. Fry for 3-5 minutes turning the slices over halfway through. Remove them when they look crispy, it’s best to eyeball it rather than adhere to a timer because cooking times can vary.
- Place on a paper towel to catch the excess oil. Sprinkle with salt. Enjoy your homemade sweet potato chips!
