The best thing about homemade kids snacks is that you can tailor the content to meet your little one's tastes. Sweet potato chips that you make at home are a great alternative not only to potato chips, but even the sweet potato chips you might buy at the store. They are super-easy to make and pack a real nutrition punch -- they are loaded with vitamins A and C. Serve them at snack time or even as a side dish with lunch or dinner.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
