Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/8-inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spiced oil mixture.
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each slice is evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove the tray, flip each slice carefully, and return to the oven for another 10-13 minutes, or until the slices are crispy on the edges and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let the potato slices cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. This allows them to crisp up further.
Serve warm as a side dish, snack, or appetizer. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a drizzle of honey for added flair.
