Sweet Potato Crisps with Slaw Recipe

Sweet Potato Crisps with Slaw are the easiest most flavorful appetizer ever and they are also a total crowd favorite.

Ok, I have a confession to make. I was not a huge fan of sweet potatoes. There I said it! Sure they were great on Thanksgiving and I have a couple of tried and true recipes that are made with sweet potatoes (and gosh I love those recipes), but outside of that, they were not my favorite. Needless to say, I never explored the option of using them as an appetizer.

That was until a friend shared with me how to make sweet potato crisps and at that moment I knew that my life (at least my appetizer making life) changed.

Sweet Potato Crisps are incredibly delicious and versatile, they are really crunchy, they also taste like the season (warm, comforting and oh so good!), but my favorite thing is that they are the perfect canvas to experiment! I mean you can use them as bread and top them with almost anything under the sun.

However, my favorite way to have them is with some slaw salad on top. The combination of sweet potato crisps + slaw salad is just to die for, and I can’t really recommend it enough. The result is creamy and cool and crispy and warm all at the same time!

The Slaw Sweet Potato Crisps are also really easy to make, and you don’t need a ton of time to whip them up from scratch which is really great especially in these hectic entertaining seasons (who wants to spend the whole day in the kitchen? definitely not me!).

You can also make as little or as many as you want, which comes in handy when you want to whip up some appetizers for a book club or a really small gathering and don’t want to end up with a lot of leftovers.

The easiest way to slice the sweet potato thinly and consistently is to use a food processor.  I have this Cuisinart that I love.
