So, I was planning on trying to post more times a week, but instead of the three posts this week I was hoping for, I ended up with one! Ooops, I guess I dropped the ball on that one! Lately life has seemed a little bit crazy and sometimes I feel like I’m too busy to slow down and get organized. I think I need to hire a personal assistant! Anyone out there want to work for pumpkin bread??!
Work has been busy and stressful lately and when I get home all I want to do is curl up on the couch with Cheeto, Modern Family and a glass of red wine. I’ve been doing this all week and it has been great, but unfortunately I haven’t done anything productive. But, honestly it has been really nice and just what I needed!
But, one thing I almost always have time for is feasting on chips! I’ve said it before and it is still as true as ever: I’ll eat anything in chip form! And since I already love sweet potatoes with all my heart, it is just an added bonus to eat sweet potato chips. These baked sweet potato chips are taken to the next level with some delicious BBQ seasoning!
On another note that is just as exciting as sweet potato chips, believe it or not next week is my one year blog anniversary! I kinda can’t believe that I have had this little blog for a whole year now. It has been frustrating at times, a huge learning experience, and one of the best things I’ve ever done! So, stay tuned next Tuesday for a fun GIVEAWAY to celebrate She Likes Food turning 1 year old and also a really awesome black bean burger recipe that is stacked high with these sweet potato chips! Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!

Baked BBQ Sweet Potato Chips
Ingredients
- 3 medium sized, long and skinny sweet potatoes
- 3–4 teaspoons olive oil
- BBQ Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a small bowl, add all of the BBQ seasoning ingredients and mix until combined.
- Using a mandolin or large, sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Place the sweet potato slices into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil (about 3-4 teaspoons, more if needed) and sprinkle with BBQ seasoning. Toss until all sweet potato slices are coated with olive oil and seasoning.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sweet potatoes on the tray making sure that they don’t overlap. You will need to bake sweet potato chips in batches. Bake 20-30 minutes, flipping chips once, until crispy. Let cool for 5-10 minutes and they will harden up a little bit more.

This looks so easy to make – and tasty! Thanks so much for sharing. I can’t wait to try it myself! 🙂
They really are easy to make! And so delicious! I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Just found your blog- Cant wait try this recipe. I would definitely work as your personal assistant for the vegan eats perks…serious- ill take the cake! So inspirational: Im a USAF Vet and Cancer survivor- with plenty of passion for the veganism. God Bless!
Haha, I wish! I’m so glad you found my site and hope you enjoy the recipes you try!! 🙂
I am with you on the busy & exhausting days this week. And also on the wine too ;). I am ready for some holidays!! These chips look delicious! I never seem to get crispy sweet potato anything (fries etc), but these look just perfect!
I wish I could just work like 5 hours per week and then sit at home and work on the blog, drink wine, and cuddle with Cheeto the rest! Maybe someday! I’m excited for the holidays too, Denise!!
Oh I absolutely love this! I honestly never thought of making sweet potato chips – AMAZING idea!
Thank you, Nora! You need to make them asap! They make me feel kinda healthy, while also satisfying my chip tooth 🙂
My goodness Izzy! One year!? Time just zooms right on by, eh? I love your blog and am so glad our paths crossed. I always enjoy reading you (and staying up to date with sweet Cheeto). Can’t wait to see what’s in store for your give-a-way!
Sometimes we need down time.. time to decompress… to do ‘nothing.’ After all, doing nothing is just as important as doing something. And this is a really crazy time of year, so cut your self some slack, Izzy.
The SPC are fantastic! I have been working on a recipe for SPC too!! I’ll have to see how our seasonings compare! LOL!
Traci!! I know, it is crazy that it has been one year! Oh how time flies when you are having fun! I’m so happy that our paths have crossed too! I always look forward to your comments and think about how much fun it would be to get together one of these days and drink some wine and talk about cats!
Down time is always so nice and I think I need to do more if it! I feel like I’m always going and going and don’t give myself enough time to just sit on the couch and watch trashy tv 🙂 I’m looking forward to your sweet potato chip recipe!!!!
Oh Izzy, I’d love to chat it up with you over some wine… recipes, cats, blogging.. I’d love that! Speaking of trashy TV., the bachelor should be starting soon… I think January. 😉
It is hard to find down time in our days. It’s a struggle for me too. I went on a long walk today. It was beautiful out (but coooold). And I just wondered why I can’t find the time to do this every day. It’s so meditative and rejuvenating. I don’t usually make resolutions; perhaps I should start. Have a good week, Izzy!
Yay! Happy one year! (well, a little early but that’s okay!) 🙂
Life has been crazy lately for me too – it can be so so hard to keep up with it all.
And these chips look absolutely delicious. Especially since they are sweet potatoes – my favorite!
Ashley! It is never too early to celebrate! it really can be so hard to keep up with it all. I keep telling myself that it is ok to let a few things slip here and there, especially if it means me not going crazy! Sweet potatoes are my favorites too 🙂
Congrats on being so near a big milestone! These chips look incredible — I have TOTALLY been craving chips this pregnancy, and these would be so much better than the junk I’ve been eating. Love that BBQ seasoning!
Thank you, Ashley! It is pretty exciting! Oh my, when I get pregnant I am going to use that as my excuse to eat ALL the chips!! Like even more than I already eat, lol! I hope these can satisfy your craving 🙂
I hear you girl on finding it hard to get organized! #storyofmylife! I have taken a hiatus from my Wednesdays posts because life is so busy around here 🙂 And modern family can seriously – the best way to end the day. These chips look delicious – BBQ has always been my favorite flava! Can’t wait to give these a-go 😀 Pinned!
The blogging really can be so time consuming! As much as I love it, sometimes it is so nice to take a little step back and enjoy some other things, like Modern Family! Thanks so much for pinning 🙂
Happy (almost) blogiversary, Izzy! I think burgers and sweet potato chips are the perfect-o way to celebrate! Counting down the minutes ’til your burger recipe and in the meantime, these chips?! HAPPENING. 🙂
Thank you, Sarah! I totally agree, Chips and burgers are the best and even better when you stack them on top of each other 🙂
I hear ya about work, Izzy! I come home stressed out too and just want to curl up on the couch and watch Christmas movies! 🙂 These bbq sweet potato chips look amazing! I’m seriously craving these right now. I’ve made sweet potato fries, but never chips, so I’m definitely trying these cuties out! Pinned!
If you like sweet potato fries, you will love these chips, Gayle! Why does work have to be so stressful sometimes?! I just want to be a cat so I can sit at home all day and sleep 🙂
Happy blog anniversary!
Sweet potato chips are just perfect, aren’t they! Even better with this BBQ seasoning.
Thank you, Dannii! Everything is better with BBQ seasoning 🙂
Love this idea with sweet potatoes! I’ve been eating so much sweet lately that I’m seriously craving some savory snacks. This would be perfect!
Thanks Leah! These chips will help break up all the sweetness this holiday season! Not that there is anything wrong with eating lots of sweets 🙂
YUM! I love the spice flavour you’ve added to these “chips”. Better than Lays if you ask me 😉
Thank you, Karen! I eat so many chips that I have to start making my own or else I would go broke, haha!
Happy 1 year, Izzy, and don’t worry about the one post. When you feel like you need to relax, it’s best to just do it! These chips look like the perfect snack, and I highly doubt I would share them with anyone. Yum!
Thank you , Marcie! I really need to start taking more personal time these days, it feels so nice to sit around and do nothing! I didn’t share these with anyone either, haha!
I often make my own sweet potato fries but never have sliced them into chips like this before. I must try this recipe out, thanks for the idea!
I make sweet potato fries all the time, but decided to mix it up this time and I wasn’t dissapointed! If you love sweet potato fries, you will love these chips!
If you love the fries, you will love these chips! I seriously don’t know which I love more!
Great for a Superbowl party
I’ll keep that in mind! Afterall, my favorite thing about the Superbowl is the food!
I’ve been the same way Isadora! So busy at work, that by the time I get home I am WIPED out! Lots of slow cooker dinners, and lots of wine. haha! These sweet potato BBQ chips sound amazing!
I really need to get a slow cooker! Although I’m slightly terrified that it will burn the house down while I’m at work, but I might just give in to it soon! Wine is always needed 🙂
I totally hear ya. It’s such a busy and insane time of the year and by the time the kids are asleep, I totally just want to zonk out too. Love these BBQ sweet potato chips, they look amazing! I am a sucker for sweet potatoes 🙂
Oh man, I don’t even have kids yet and I already feel so worn out by the end of the day, I can only imagine what throwing some kids into the mix makes you feel like! I am such a sucker for sweet potatoes too 🙂
Yummy! I love sweet potatoes cooked ANY way!! These chips sound awesome!!
Me too, Jess!! I’m so not picky when it comes to sweet potatoes, just give them to me now 🙂
Yummy, yummy! very awesome chips yet so easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for the comment, Gary! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoy them 🙂
I want to make this sugar-/sweetener-free. It’ll obviously taste less sweet -but I’m okay with that. Would you make any changes to the spice blend when not including a sweetener?
Hi Marie, I think it would be fine to just leave the sugar out and just use the regular amount of the rest of the spices! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Does the Sweet Potato Chips store well? Thanks
Hi Leila, unfortunately they can get a bit soggy when stored, but if you store them at room temperature they would hold up better. I hope that helps!
Go girl these are awesome!
Thanks!!
