Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, ensuring the slices are even for uniform cooking.
Place the sweet potato slices in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them. Toss to coat each slice evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the sweet potato slices, tossing again to evenly coat them.
Arrange the sweet potato slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown with slightly crisp edges when done.
Remove from the oven and let the slices cool for 5 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish, snack, or appetizer. Enjoy!
