When preparing crispy oven roasted sweet potato coins, the first step is to ensure that each coin is cut to a uniform thickness, ideally around ¼ inch. This consistency is crucial for ensuring even cooking; if some pieces are thicker than others, the thinner ones will become overly crispy while the thicker ones remain undercooked. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for precision. If you want to get creative, you can slice them into different shapes, but keep in mind that uniformity in thickness is key for optimal results.

Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes (preferably orange-fleshed)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 tablespoon honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that crispy texture.

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick coins. Make sure they’re uniform in size for even cooking.

      Seasoning Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, black pepper, and rosemary. If you prefer a hint of sweetness, add honey to the mixture.

        Toss the Coins: Add the sweet potato coins to the bowl and toss thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

          Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the sweet potato coins in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overcrowded (this helps them get crispy).

            Roasting: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the coins halfway through. Bake until they're golden brown and tender, keeping an eye to avoid burning.

              Serve: Once roasted, remove the sweet potato coins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish. They pair wonderfully with dips like hummus, guacamole, or a yogurt sauce.
