Ingredients
- Medium-sized sweet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Cayenne (optional)
- Dried herbs (optional, e.g., rosemary or thyme)
- Fresh parsley (optional)
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
- Crumbled feta (optional)
- Goat cheese (optional)
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if preferred. Slice them into ½-inch thick rounds.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well-coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through.
