I love to pair these sweet potato slices with other roasted veggies (zucchini, eggplant, Brussels sprouts, carrots) and make a veggie bowl. They are also an excellent side dish for seitan steak, or burgers.
For this recipe, I used a basic salt & pepper seasoning, but you can go wild with different flavors! Garlic powder, dried rosemary, paprika powder, or cinnamon powder, would be great starting points.

Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Slices
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato long
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Peel the sweet potato. Wash it. Pat it dry. Slice it evenly with a knife or a wavy knife for wavy slices.
- Place the sweet potato slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add the olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper. Mix the sweet potato slices around until they are all coated. I usually fold one side of the parchment paper over and swirl them around (that way I don't have to get my hands or a spoon oily).
- Lay the potato slices flat onto the parchment paper. Bake them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until slightly brown on the edges. Enjoy as a side dish or as a delicious snack with a dip!
