Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs sweet potatoes, sliced into medallions
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2-3 lbs sweet potatoes (cut into chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into desired shapes (medallions or chunks).
  3. For the medallion version: Place slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with coconut oil, sprinkle with coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well by hand to coat evenly. Spread into a single layer.
  4. For the chunk version: Place chunks on a baking sheet, drizzle with ghee or avocado oil, sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, and minced garlic. Mix well by hand to coat evenly. Spread into a single layer.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and savory goodness!

Notes

– For extra crispy edges, ensure the sweet potato slices are in a single layer and not overlapping on the baking sheet.
– Internal temperature for fully cooked sweet potatoes should reach 165°F (74°C).
– Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for best texture.
