Cooking Tips

  • Ensure Even Cooking: Cut the sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Dry the Potatoes Well: After boiling, ensure the sweet potatoes are thoroughly dried to avoid sogginess and achieve a crispier texture when roasted.
  • Use Parchment Paper: For easier cleanup and to prevent sticking, use parchment paper instead of foil when lining the cookie sheets.
  • Adjust Spices: Feel free to adjust the amount of smoked paprika and regular paprika based on your taste preferences for a smokier or milder flavour.
