Ingredients

▢ sweet potatoes (medium, washed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds) 2
▢ olive oil 2 tbsp
▢ cinnamon (ground ) 1 ½ tsp
▢ nutmeg (ground ) ½ tsp
▢ garlic powder 1 tsp

Cooking Tips

Uniform Slicing: Ensure all slices are 1/4-inch thick for even cooking. A mandoline slicer can make this easier.
Spice Variations: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or swap paprika for smoked paprika for a deeper flavour.
Crispier Texture: Roast the slices for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispness, keeping an eye to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of tahini for a creamy contrast.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2 sweet potatoes, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 ½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
Spread the rounds evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
Serve warm as a savoury side dish or snack.

FAQ

Can I use yams instead of sweet potatoes?
Yes, but the texture and sweetness will differ slightly. Yams are starchier and less sweet.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
Can I air-fry instead of roasting?
Absolutely! Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Can I make them oil-free?
Yes, but they may not crisp as much. Use a light mist of cooking spray or a small amount of water to coat the slices with spices.
How can I make these sweeter?
Add a sprinkle of stevia, honey, or maple syrup if you’re not avoiding added sugars.
