Method
- Bake or microwave the sweet potato until soft, then peel it and mash until completely smooth.
- Mix in the almond butter, cacao, and honey. Spread it in a baking tray, add chips if you like, and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25-27 minutes.
- Let them cool completely before cutting. They are even better the next day.
What we changed and why
- Some chips use corn-derived dextrose or vanillin, so read the label.
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.
