Creamy Olive Dip with Raw Sweet Potato Chips
Serves 8 to 10
Time 45 min
Forget potato chips! Thin slices of uncooked sweet potato are a fun and crunchy accompaniment to this tangy vegan olive dip. If you’d prefer to cook the potato slices, place them on baking sheets and broil until they’re soft and browned in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
