Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense root vegetables, rich in vitamins and minerals. A single serving provides an excellent source of fiber, which is essential for digestive health, and they are loaded with antioxidants such as beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. This vitamin plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision, skin, and immune function. Additionally, sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index compared to regular potatoes, making them a smart choice for those monitoring blood sugar levels.

Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into ½ inch rounds

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil until fully coated.

      Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mix over the sweet potatoes and toss until evenly coated.

        Bake Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

          Prepare Dressing: While the sweet potatoes are baking, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup) and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until well combined.

            Toss & Serve: Once the sweet potato rounds are out of the oven, drizzle the honey mixture over them while they’re still warm. Toss gently to ensure all rounds are coated.

              Garnish & Enjoy: Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy hit.
