Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 lime
- 1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
- Crumbled feta cheese, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sweet potato rounds in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.
- Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving plate.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
- Finish with roasted pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts, fresh herbs, and optional feta cheese before serving.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to help the sweet potatoes roast evenly and become crispy.
- Cayenne pepper can be added for extra heat or cinnamon for a sweeter flavor profile.
- Top with avocado slices or a drizzle of yogurt sauce for added creaminess.
- Toasted almonds, pecans, or crispy chickpeas make excellent crunchy toppings.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
- These sweet potato rounds can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 18 minutes.
