These crispy baked sweet potato rounds are a delightful twist on a classic snack, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Use your hands to ensure every slice is well coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Avoid overlapping the slices to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the slices during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Sprinkle the baked rounds with grated parmesan cheese while still warm.
Adding the cheese while warm helps it melt slightly and adhere to the slices.
Serve the crispy rounds warm as a snack or side dish.
Pair with your favorite dip for an enhanced flavor experience.
