Super simple & healthy, these crispy grilled sweet potato chips are the perfect side dish. With just 2 ingredients (plus salt and pepper), they are perfect to make any time, and they are paleo, vegan, gluten free, and whole 30 friendly!
Have you ever attempted to make your own potato chips but failed miserably?
Um yes, that would be me. For some reason, I can’t get them crispy enough. That’s probably why I just stick my old resistant starch with nut butter tactics. Haha!
Well, today you are in luck! I just so happened to convince yet another super talented food blogger and gluten free friend of mine (Ari) to share her tricks ad tips for making the best sweet potato chips. Hint–> you wont have to bake them!
But I must warn you, once you start reading Aris blog and trying her recipes, you will become infatuated! Hehe, good thing I know her in real life and she doesn’t mind me stalking. She’s the best! So again, take notes, try it out, and then EAT UP!
Oh and you have to read all about her story too! So inspiring!!
Hi guys! My name is Ari and I blog at Ari’s Menu. I started my blog as a place to share my lightened up recipes after losing 75 pounds. Friends and family kept asking how I did it and what I was eating, so obviously the only solution was to start a food blog. 😉 It didn’t start out as much (I mean, my first couple of posts didn’t even include a picture!), but soon I developed a passion for food photography and recipe development. I’m so thrilled that Lindsay gave me the opportunity to share with you guys today. I’ve been a huge fan of her blog, and pretty much just Lindsay as a human being for a long time, so I’m super excited to get to borrow her corner of the internet for a day. 😉
A little over a year ago, my husband discovered he had a gluten intolerance, so I started focusing my blog on gluten-free recipes. However, I strongly believe that gluten-free does not equal healthy. I believe that unless you have celiac or an intolerance, whole grains of any kind are great for you, and I always aim to make my recipes accessible to everyone, regardless of dietary needs. We just happen to eat gluten-free.
These grilled sweet potato chips are ridiculously simple and easy to make.
The hardest part is slicing the sweet potatoes. If you have a mandolin slicer, it will be easier, but I don’t have one, so I just sliced my little heart out. 😉 Then I tossed them in some coconut oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and threw those babies on the grill where they hang out for just a couple of minutes per side. That’s it! The secret to getting them crispy is slicing them verrrrry thin and getting just enough char while they’re on the grill. You don’t want them burnt, but a little char is a good thing!

Thanks Ari! Believe it or not, I’m going to try grilling these this week! It’s our last week in Colorado, might as well LIVE it up! haha.
So what do you think? Will you grill chips?
Cheers,
LC
I have never tried to grill them before, but it looks easy enough to do.
Yum! Definitely trying this recipe out! I have two sweet potatoes all ready to go 🙂
Yum, I love all things sweet potato! I’ve never tried grilling them. Will give it a try!
let me know if you do MIchelle!
Wow is it really that simple?! I have been trying to do this wih sweet potatoes for years and stopped trying cause mine were always soggy! Thank you for this!
I’m obsessed with sweet potatoes! We typically get the orange ones but bought some white the other day. Sliced them, topped them with coconut oil then roasted them. So good!
This is totally brilliant! I love that these chips are a healthier way to indulge and still get that salty/crispy crunch I crave!
my thoughts exactly!
I need those right. now. I think I actually have some sweet potatoes at home! This is happening soon, how creative!
ohh keep me posted on how they turn out!
Brilliant! I’ve never grilled them because I roast everything since is the easiest. I’m going to have to try these though!
we should try it on the george forman!
Potato chips ready in 6-8 minutes??? And with coconut oil??? Good golly these are brilliant! Thanks Ari and thanks Lindsay – am off to stalk – er check out Ari’s other intriguing eats!
you will stalking a lot, kinda like what i do with you! haha
ari’s recipes are the best!
for real! we need to be taste testers
i want her to cook for me daily. haha
I need a grill stat! 🙂
come visit! i share
Grilled potatoes are AWESOME, but I have never thought to make actual chips. Awesome idea, Lindsay!
oh it was all Ari! she is the genius. But i’m happy to sample. haha
i could never get these chips to be crispy. its either soft or burnt. i will have to try this method soon.
ohh keep up posted!
Cant i just come over… #lazychef over here.
okay, but you must have wine. 😉
Seriously, these look amazing! I can’t wait to try them
i think we need a chip party!
This is genius! I honestly haven’t even attempted my own chips since I’ve heard so many fail stories but grilling them makes sense! Too bad I don’t have a grill..bummer. I need to buy one of those stove top grills (again) and try this ASAP! Also I just realized I’m a bad follower because I don’t think I knew you lost 75 pounds, Ari! That’s amazing!!
So glad you pinned this to the group board, Lindsay!! <3
george forman baby! haha
Yum! I’ve never tried grilling them before. Indefinitely gonna try this trick! Congrats on your weight loss too. I lost 80 pounds give yes ago and started my blog because every kept asking me how I is it.
oh wow, i didn’t know that about you either Megan. COngrats!
Oh I’m definitely going to try this! My mandolin slicer makes very thin slices though, I’m afraid they won’t stay on the grill but will slip right through the cracks. I’ll try it for sure though!
i wonder if you could grill them in foil?
YUM!!! totally pinworthy! I must try these!
fish and chips! hehe
First of all, I LOVE you Ari!! 🙂 So glad to see you here on Cotter Crunch.
I’ve been grilling everything and anything around here lately – sweet potatoes included! It’s so darn hot that I try to keep my oven off as much as possible. Great tips here!
ya, we totally have a girl crush!
yum! I too have a hard time getting that crisp sometimes but apparently I am just not slicing them thin enough, thanks Ari and Lindsay!
ya, guilty here too
I love Ari’s recipes! We are firing up our grill a few more times this week before summer leaves us for good… these are a must!
you can always visit TX in winter for the grill! haha
Yes, yes I have failed miserably at them before! And kale chips, too. So I am going to give it another go. Thank you!
Thanks for letting me hang out for the day! Love you lady!!
I stinking love Ari!!
So right… I started reading Ari’s blog a while ago and was totally infatuated. Still am. 😉
I need a grill. Silly condo rules. Next time I hijack mom’s grill, I’m going to do this with some sweet potatoes!
infatuated with each other is the best kind of FAT to be
Oh, I am PHAT. 😉
OOH coconut oil!!!!!
Same here! They never some out crispy enough. Will have to give these a try. And yes, super inspiring story! I love reading about everyone’s journey to find their healthiest version of themselves. All unique but with similar vision.
me too! and she’s even more inspiring in real life
Oh I love seeing Ari here!! I love sweet potatoes and this recipe!
me too. I love her. hehe
Awesome! Have loved Ari for a while now, and was nice to get a little intro about her to recap. Thanks Ari, you are great! Potato chips are always a great choice when baked, and can be enjoyed by athletes even in season (right kiwi cotter? :p…..well, I do anyway). Never would have thought about coconut oil! Clever 🙂
yes, we’re obsessed with these in season and off season. LOL!
I will try any new way to cool sweet potatoes! This looks like a winner 🙂
and plantains, right?! hehe
It was just meant to be that yesterday I was making potato chips! I much prefer sweet potato chips, so I will have to give these a go!
i wonder if you could do curly fries on the grill?
LOVE grilled sweet potato chips! One of my proudest moments might be the day I taught my husband how to do it, and he was triumphant. Worked out very well indeed for me 😀
haha gotta love those moments
Yum! Do you put anything on the grill so that they don’t fall in the cracks?
good question! Maybe make big slices? or use foil. But i will ask Ari this for sure!
I prefer to put them straight on the grill to get those nice char marks, so I just try to use a large sweet potato and get big slices, then watch them like a hawk. I definitely lost some, but I always lose some of my veggies when I grill them. You could certainly try foil, or they have some really great grill tools for veggies. I usually just start out with a little extra and expect a few casualties. 😉
Oooh how they look crispy and clean and pristine! Maybe I should try it with purple sweet potatoes.
oh good idea! let me know how it turns out!
Never tried grilling sweet potatoes before! Great idea 🙂
On the grill? Brilliant! Maybe the make-my-own chip fails will cease 🙂
