Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your heat preference)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for serving)

Lime wedges (for a zesty touch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring an easy clean-up and preventing the sweet potato rounds from sticking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced sweet potato rounds. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss until each round is thoroughly coated for optimal flavor and crispiness.

      Create the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well, and then sprinkle this flavorful blend generously over the sweet potato rounds. Toss again to ensure every slice is evenly coated in the seasoning.

        Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave space between each round to allow for even cooking and crispiness.

          Bake to Perfection: Bake the sweet potato rounds in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the rounds to achieve a golden-brown, crispy exterior while keeping the insides tender.

            Garnish and Serve: Once they are perfectly baked, remove the rounds from the oven. Transfer them to a serving platter, and generously sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve alongside a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, and include lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
