Sweet potato: Choose firm, fresh sweet potatoes for perfect slices that crisp beautifully in the oven.

Everything bagel seasoning: The star seasoning blend that adds savory, tangy, and herby notes for an irresistible flavor punch.
Coconut cream: Used in the optional dairy-free cheese dip for a silky texture and subtle richness.

Apple cider vinegar: Adds a bit of tang to the dip, balancing its creaminess perfectly.
Sea salt: Enhances all the flavors naturally present in the chips and dip.

How to Make Sweet Potato Everything Bagel Chips (Healthy, Paleo) Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Give your sweet potatoes a good wash and scrub to remove any dirt since you’ll leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. Next, thinly slice the sweet potatoes using a mandoline slicer set to about 1/8 inch thickness—this helps the chips crisp evenly and stay light rather than soggy.

Step 2: Season the Chips

Arrange your sweet potato slices on the baking sheets without overlapping for the best bake. Brush or drizzle 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over each side of the slices—this is key for that perfect crunch. Generously sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning onto one side of the chips before baking; the seasoning will toast wonderfully in the oven, locking in those bold flavors.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

Bake the chips for 10 minutes, then use tongs to gently flip each chip over. Now sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning on the freshly exposed side and return to the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the chips are crisp and golden. Keep a close eye near the end to prevent burning, as ovens can vary.

Step 4: Prepare the Cream Cheese Dip (Optional)

While the chips bake, you can whip up the optional dairy-free cheese dip by simply combining coconut cream, a tablespoon of avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until smooth and adjust the seasoning to taste. This dip gives a luscious, creamy contrast to the crunchy chips, elevating the whole snack-time experience.

Garnishes

A sprinkle of fresh chopped chives or a dash of smoked paprika on top of the chips can add an extra layer of vibrant color and flavor, making your snack not just tasty but visually inviting. Garnishing with a touch of sea salt right after baking keeps the chips perfectly seasoned.

Side Dishes

These chips are fantastic on their own but also serve as a fantastic accompaniment to soups like a creamy tomato bisque or a cozy butternut squash soup. Pairing with a fresh green salad loaded with crunchy vegetables adds a light balance to the richness of the chips and dip.

Creative Ways to Present

For an eye-catching snack platter, layer the Sweet Potato Everything Bagel Chips (Healthy, Paleo) Recipe around small bowls of the dairy-free cheese dip and other paleo-friendly spreads such as guacamole or hummus. You can also sprinkle the chips over salads to add texture and a burst of flavor that’ll impress your guests.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, store your chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To retain their crispness, avoid refrigeration as the moisture can soften the chips.

Freezing

Since homemade sweet potato chips lose their crunch after freezing and thawing, it’s best to avoid freezing them. Instead, freeze the cream cheese dip separately in a sealed container if you want to prepare your snacks ahead of time.

Reheating

To bring back crispiness to stored chips, place them on a baking sheet and pop them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5–7 minutes. This method refreshes their crunch without drying them out.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe without the everything bagel seasoning?

Absolutely! You can season the sweet potato chips with your favorite herbs and spices like paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary. The chips will still be delicious but the iconic bagel flavor won’t be as prominent.

Is this recipe suitable for those following an AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet?

Yes, there is an AIP-friendly version of the everything bagel seasoning included, which replaces onions and garlic with dried onion flakes, dried garlic granules, and dried chives that are compliant. Just be sure your other ingredients meet your dietary needs.

What type of sweet potatoes work best?

Firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes with smooth skin are ideal as they slice evenly and crisp well. Avoid ones that are overly large or too soft.

Can I use another oil if I don’t have avocado oil?

You can substitute with other high smoke point oils like coconut oil or light olive oil. Just be aware that these might slightly alter the flavor or crispness.

How long do these chips stay fresh?

Enjoy them the same day if possible for the best crunch, but they can stay fresh for up to two days when stored properly in an airtight container at room temperature.
