Let me introduce you to one of my all-time favorite snacks, Honey BBQ Sweet Potato Chips.  They're not just one of my favorites, they're pretty universally adored.  They're perfect for those on a gluten-free diet obviously, but I’m talking ANYONE – kids, teens, adults. Snack on them at work, during the game, at 1 am when you’re binge-watching your favorite show, whatever. These work.

About these Honey BBQ Sweet Potato Chips:

You can adjust the chip slices to your desired thickness – super thin will give you an extra-crunchy sweetpotato chip (and may burn easier) and thicker is more suitable for dipping. I recommend using a Mandoline or hand-held slicer.

Don’t be afraid to adjust the seasonings – kick up the chili powder for a little more spice, or add some dry mustard. The sky is the limit on chip seasoning!

How sweet potatoes (it's sweetpotatoes actually) grow in California.

For starters, a sweetpotato is NOT a yam. They grow in the dry, sandy soil in Central California, which prevents them from over-absorbing water and nutrients, and is less likely to damage the delicate root when pulling it out of the soil. The Valley’s hot, sunny climate is another factor. Sweetpotatoes thrive in the California sunshine.

Yes, sweetpotato is actually one word! However, folks who grow sweet potatoes use the terms interchangeably since most consumers and grocers call them sweet potatoes.

What to serve with baked sweet potato chips:

Add a few other amazing gluten free apps for a fabulous game day spread. Try serving your homemade sweet potato chips with Skinny French Onion Dip and Pig Candy.  And don't forget the Margaritas....obviously.
