Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
-
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut them into even ¼-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the thickness consistent so they cook evenly.
Step 3: Season the Rounds
-
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil until evenly coated. Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the rounds are evenly seasoned.
Step 4: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
-
Place the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they don’t overlap, as this will help them crisp up nicely.
Step 5: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes , flipping the rounds halfway through cooking. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning. They should be golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 6: Rest and Garnish
-
Once done, remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes . This allows them to firm up slightly. Garnish with fresh rosemary and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
-
Serve these crispy sweet potato rounds warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli, hummus, or tzatziki, for an extra burst of flavor.
