Description
Delicious roasted sweet potatoes seasoned with olive oil and spices, perfect as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb sweet potatoes (about 3 large potatoes)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- ½ tsp salt (more to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ Tbsp fresh thyme, leaves removed from stems
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ (218°C). Spray a parchment-lined baking sheet or baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the sweet potato rounds from sticking.
- Give the sweet potatoes a good rinse. You can remove the skin if you want to, but I keep the skin on for more texture and dietary fiber.
- Slice the potato widthwise into thin pieces using a sharp knife. The size of your slices will be based on personal preference. Some people prefer thick rounds. I personally like mine a bit thinner.
- Pile the sliced sweet potatoes in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Top with olive oil, salt & black pepper, and other toppings. Using your hands, make sure each sweet potato slice is well coated on both sides. If you prefer, you can do this part in a large bowl.
- Line the sweet potatoes in a single layer side by side. Be sure they are in a single layer so they cook evenly! Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your slices and your oven. The sweet potatoes are done cooking when they are a golden brown color.
- Hint: for best results, be sure to line the sweet potatoes in an even layer that don’t overlap. You may need to do a couple of batches depending on how large your baking sheet or sheet pan is.
Notes
- Sweet potatoes are delicious when paired with various seasonings and toppings.
