Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to achieving that perfect golden crisp.

    Prepare the sweet potatoes: Rinse and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure uniform cooking.

      Season the sweet potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato rounds. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all the sweet potato rounds are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.

        Arrange on a baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for hassle-free cleanup. Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring none are overlapping for optimal roasting.

          Roasting: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness and a beautiful golden color on both sides.

            Check for doneness: Once cooked, the sweet potato rounds should be tender on the inside and boast a crispy exterior. For an extra crunch, feel free to broil them on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, but keep a watchful eye to prevent burning.

              Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few moments. Enhance the presentation by sprinkling fresh rosemary or thyme over the top for a fragrant finish.

                Enjoy! Serve these delightful bites warm as a scrumptious side dish, satisfying snack, or tasty appetizer.
