These baked sweet potato slices make an excellent side dish or snack. And the best thing about the recipe: you can make the sweet potatoes sweet or savory.
Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into even, thick rounds using a large sharp knife. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Toss with olive oil or melted butter, or melted coconut oil if making the sweet version.
Savory version: Sprinkle cumin, coriander, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper all over the potatoes in the bowl. Toss well to coat.
Sweet version: Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt all over the sweet potato slices in the bowl. Toss well.
Bake: Arrange the sliced sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the hot oven for about 30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Notes
1 large sweet potato or 2 small to medium ones. The sweet potatoes should be long rather than round so that the slices are smaller and more even. You can halve the slices to make them smaller if they are very round.
If making the sweet version, you can use 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil instead.
You can substitute them with a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste.
The nutrition is calculated for the savory version.
