Ingredients

  • 500 g sweet potato (1 large sweet potato) scrubbed clean and sliced into 2-3mm slices
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic – minced
  • 2 teaspoon thyme – dried or fresh
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°f / 200°c.
  • Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl and toss to evenly coat the sweet potato slices with the olive oil, garlic and thyme. You may find you need to use tongs. It's a little fiddly but you'll get there with persistence.

  • Evenly arrange the sweet potato slices in a large casserole dish or sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are overlapping each other and in a single layer.
  • Cover the baking sheet pan with tinfoil and bake for 30 minutes more until the sweet potato is fork tender.
  • Remove the foil. Continue to bake for another 20-30 minutes until the edges of the sweet potatoes are crispy.
    Salt & pepper
  • Season generously with salt and black pepper. Optionally served with additional fresh thyme and vegan parmesan cheese shavings.

Notes

  • Storage – baked sweet potato slices keep in the refrigerator for up to three days but we don't recommend freezing.
  • Try mixing up the seasoning on the sweet potatoes. Add chili powder, paprika powder or top with plant based cheese.
  • Baked sweet potato rounds should be initially cut with a sharp knife. A mandolin will cut them too thin, unless your mandolin has a thicker setting.
