ROASTED SWEET POTATO ROUNDS
I've been trying to find an alternative to our usual roasted potatoes. This is a combo of a few recipes I've seen. The seasoned oil after tossing has a really neat flavour. (I was cooking them along side a roasted chicken so the temperature was lower and cooking time is longer. I have no doubt these could be done faster at a higher temp. Based on recipes I've seen, 425 Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes)

Steps:
- Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a pan.
- Preheat oven to 325 (I was cooking them along side a roasted chicken so the temperature was lower and cooking time is longer. I have no doubt these could be done faster at a higher temperature Based on recipes I've seen, 425 Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes).
- Slice onions and sautee until tender and brown at the edges.
- Peel and wash potatoes then slice into rounds about a centimetre thick.
- Combine potatoes, chili powder, brown sugar, salt and remaining oil in a bowl, toss to coat evenly.
- Add sauteed onions and continue to toss to combine flavours.
- Spread potato and onion mixture evenly on a baking sheet with edges or a large roasting pan that will allow the potatoes to barely overlap.
- Toss halfway through to ensure coating and cooking is even.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy.
- Toss the sweet potatoes with oil and spices: This will help them brown and develop flavor. You can use any spices you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can cook them at a lower temperature for a longer time if you prefer, but they may not get as crispy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the sweet potatoes will steam instead of roast. Make sure there is enough space between the slices so they can cook evenly.
- Flip the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly. If you don't flip them, the bottoms of the sweet potatoes may burn.
- Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven, but they can also be served at room temperature. You can also reheat them in the oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
Roasted sweet potato rounds are a delicious and healthy side dish or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
