Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch to ½-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional seasonings: ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey for drizzling

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel or scrub well if leaving the skin on.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds about ¼-inch to ½-inch thick.
  4. Place the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Toss again to ensure even distribution.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  11. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For spicier rounds, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper. For cinnamon-sugar rounds, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar before roasting. Store leftover sweet potato rounds in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven, microwave, or skillet. To prevent burning, lower the oven temperature slightly or cover with foil. To prevent sogginess, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
