Baked Sweet Potato Slices
Crispy-edged, tender-centered baked sweet potato slices seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a hint of honey. A simple oven method for a versatile side dish or snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes about 1.5–2 pounds total
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional
Seasoning
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin optional
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Finishing
- Fresh parsley or cilantro chopped, for garnish
- Flaky sea salt for finishing
- Extra honey or lemon for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Slice into 1/4–1/3-inch rounds, keeping slices uniform for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss slices with olive oil, honey (if using), smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until lightly coated.
- Place slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between slices. Bake 20–25 minutes, flip, then bake another 8–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are tender.
- Let cool slightly, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt and chopped herbs. Drizzle with honey or squeeze lemon over the top if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a convection setting or finish on the top rack for the last few minutes.
- Avoid crowding the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.
- Store baked slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and re-crisp in the oven.
