For people who love eating a bag of chips when watching TV, homemade sweet potato chips will satisfy your cravings without the bad fat and excessive salt.

This snack is easy to make and it provides you with a healthy reason to snack during an entire episode or two of your favorite TV show. To make these chips, all you need is a sweet potato and oil. Simply slice the potato into thin sheets that are shaped like actual shore-bought chips, pour oil on them and set them in the oven to bake. To add extra taste you can also sprinkle them with your favorite spices and flavoring before roasting them and you can dip them in a healthy homemade dip.

While these sweet potato chips are perfect for solo evenings, they're also great to serve guests at a BBQ as a healthy alternative to junk food.
