Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes (preferably with orange flesh)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 tablespoon honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This higher temperature is crucial for achieving a perfect crispiness on the sweet potato coins.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick coins. Ensuring uniform size is key for even cooking and browning.

      Create the Seasoning Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if you desire a spicy kick), salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. For those who enjoy a hint of sweetness, drizzle in the honey and mix well to create a cohesive seasoning blend.

        Toss the Sweet Potato Coins: Add the sliced sweet potato coins to the bowl with the seasoning. Gently toss them until every coin is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.

          Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy clean-up. Spread the seasoned sweet potato coins in a single layer across the sheet, ensuring there’s space between each coin. This helps them roast rather than steam, which is essential for achieving crispiness.

            Roasting in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the sweet potato coins for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to promote even cooking. Keep a close eye on them as they roast; you're aiming for a golden brown color and a tender interior.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once perfectly roasted, carefully remove the sweet potato coins from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve them warm as a delightful snack or a versatile side dish. They pair exceptionally well with various dips such as hummus, guacamole, or a cooling yogurt sauce.
