Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes washed and dried
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform ¼-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned rounds in a single, non-overlapping layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and the edges are browned and crispy.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Don't Crowd the Pan: Ensure the sweet potato rounds are in a single layer to allow them to roast, not steam.
Uniform Slices: Cut the potatoes to a consistent ¼-inch thickness for even cooking.
High Heat is Key: Roasting at 425°F is essential for getting those crispy edges.
