  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

Seasoning

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for roasting the sweet potato slices.
  2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Rinse and clean the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into rings approximately one-third of an inch thick to ensure even roasting.
  4. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If using aluminum foil and not coating the sweet potatoes directly with olive oil, spray the foil with a non-stick spray.
  5. Coat the slices: Place the sweet potato slices into a bowl and drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to evenly coat all slices.
  6. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, then toss again to distribute the seasoning across all slices.
  7. Arrange on the baking sheet: Lay the sweet potato slices flat on the prepared baking tray, leaving a small space between each slice for even roasting. Use a second tray if necessary.
  8. Roast the first side: Put the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes to begin the roasting process.
  9. Flip the slices: Carefully flip each sweet potato slice to expose the other side for roasting.
  10. Roast the other side: Continue baking until the slices are crisped and roasted to your desired level, usually taking an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
  11. Cool the slices: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roasted sweet potato slices cool for 5 minutes to firm up.
  12. Serve: Serve the roasted sweet potato slices warm and enjoy their sweet, crispy flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the sweet potato slices are evenly coated with oil to prevent sticking and promote crispness.
  • Adjust salt and pepper seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • You can add additional spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon for varied flavors.
  • If you prefer extra crispy slices, bake a little longer while keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Using parchment paper instead of foil reduces the need for additional oil or non-stick spray.
