How to Make Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Chips
Step 1: Preheat it, baby
Set that oven to 180°C (356°F) and let it do its thing.
Step 2: Slice like a pro
Mandoline slicer = magic. You want thin and even—not thick wedges (this ain’t a steakhouse).
Step 3: Cold soak = extra crunch
Toss those slices in cold water for 30 minutes. Trust us—it pulls out starch and makes them pop.
Step 4: Dry ‘em good
No soggy fries allowed. Pat those beauties dry with a clean towel or paper napkins.
Step 5: Season & oil
Lay them on parchment paper, drizzle olive oil, sprinkle your spices. Flip them a lil’ to coat both sides.
Step 6: Bake, flip, repeat
Pop into the oven for 10–15 minutes, flip, then back in for another 10–15. Don’t walk away—fries go from fab to burnt real fast.
Step 7: Cool down = crisp up
Let them sit for a few minutes. They’ll go from soft to crunchy real quick.

Tips from the Whyglutenate Kitchen
Don’t overcrowd the tray. Chips need personal space too.
Dry them like your life depends on it. Moisture = sadness.
Want max crisp? Rotate your tray halfway through baking.

Gluten-Free FAQs
Are sweet potato fries gluten-free?
100%. Sweet potatoes = gluten-free. Zero cross-contamination here.
Can I air-fry instead?
Yes! Set your air fryer to 180°C and cook for 10–12 mins, shaking halfway.
Why soak them?
Soaking pulls out starch, making fries crispier without frying.
What if they’re not crispy?
You either sliced too thick or didn’t dry them enough. Give them more oven love or pat them dry better.
