Love the crunch of potato chips but hate the calories and fat that come with them? A serving of Lays Classic Potato Chips (15 chips) contains 160 calories and a whopping 10 grams of fat. A serving of our Skinny Baked Sweet Potato Chips recipe, however, contains only 71 calories and two grams of fat — and that's for 20 chips! Looks like you've found your next snack!

Pro tips:

  • You can use a handheld mandoline slicer on the second setting to get the perfect thickness for these chips.
  • Enjoy these chips as soon as they come out of the oven for ideal crispiness!
