Sweet potato crackers are crunchy, savory, and super addictive. If you’re hunting for a healthy snack recipe for the holidays with a really short ingredient list that doesn’t demand a long, drawn-out process, these sweet potato chips are it!
Preheat your oven to 180 C. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
Add the sweet potato puree and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well with your hands. Knead briefly until a soft and pliable dough is formed.
Cover with a kitchen napkin and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
Starting with one portion, roll it out thinly on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into small 1" squares and place on the prepared tray.
Bake for 15 minutes at 180 C, rotating the tray halfway until the crackers are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before transferring to an air-tight container. Enjoy!

Notes
If your sweet potato cracker dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate it till it firms up enough to roll easily.
The key to crispy sweet potato snacks is thin rolling. The thinner the chips, the crispier the result.
When each sweet potato cracker is thick, you get chewy chips as opposed to crackly ones. To my surprise, my son preferred the chewy ones, so don’t discount them!
These crackers get done rather fast. And you don’t want to burn or overbake them. For me, 15 minutes at 350°F (180 °C) worked well. But every oven is different, so keep an eye on them.
I had to rotate the tray once to bake the crackers evenly. While this is not necessary (depending on your oven), check once to see if the chips are browning evenly.
If the underside is not baking properly, turn them upside down.
