Who doesn’t love potato chips? As a salty snack with drinks or a textural crunch on your sandwich, chips are one of our all-time faves – and this recipe for homemade potato chips is making them even better. They’re just as crispy as the kind from a bag (be sure to use a sheet pan like this one from Caraway that’s big enough) but these have less fat and less sodium. Plus they’re easy and inexpensive to make, so you can go nuts!

Hosting a gathering? These will be a huge crowd-pleaser. Serve them up as a twist on tortilla chips with this 5-Layer Black Bean Dip (it’s plant-based and oh so good). While your at it, you may want to create a build your own burrito bowl station. But only if you can handle the Host of the Year accolades.

You can make these with either russet potatoes or sweet potatoes if you want a touch more flavor and loads more micronutrients. Russet potatoes are high in vitamin B6, potassium, copper, and vitamin C, with many of the nutrients residing in their earthy skins. Sweet potatoes, meanwhile, are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, copper, and pantothenic acid. Lower in carbs an ultra-rich in beta-carotene, they’re a nutritious alternative for sure!

Make these party-ready by serving them alongside vegan ranch dip or goddess dip. The creamy dips will add even more flavor to this healthy snack! Ooh, you know what else would go great with those dips? Our famous (probably) cauliflower hot wings!

  3. Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
