Ingredient Notes
Sweet Potatoes: Act as the very base of the recipe. They have a natural sweetness, a rich, velvety texture, and a porous quality that allows them absorb all spices and seasonings beautifully.
Oil of choice: Helps brown the sweet potatoes evenly and ensures that the seasonings stick to the slices.
- I like to use avocado oil for these oven-roasted sweet potato slices, but you can also use melted coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil.
Salt: Enhances the flavors of the ingredients.
Smoked Paprika: Imparts a mild, smoky flavor that enhances the natural flavors of the sweet potatoes.
Honey: Boosts sweetness while also encouraging caramelization as the sweet potatoes bake. If you are vegan, use maple syrup instead!
Garlic powder: Adds a rich, savory taste that balances the dish’s sweetness.
- Heat the oven to 425℉. Line a large baking sheet or tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato slices with oil, salt, paprika, honey, and garlic powder, tossing until well coated.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle any remaining mixture from the bowl over the sweet potato slices.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until fork tender and caramelized around the edges.
- Enjoy!

Seasoning Ideas for Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- Minced garlic, rosemary salt, and pepper for an earthy-sweet combination of flavors.
