Smoky Sweet Potato Rounds
Sweet potatoes get such a bad rap. Yes, they’re a starchy carb but def don’t treat them like a piece of bread or other refined carb. This whole food has a lot to offer in terms of nutrition!
The orange and purple flesh varieties are especially rich in antioxidants which protect your body against free radicals. And they’re an excellent source of vitamins C, A, manganese, and potassium.
Their fiber content will leave you fuller longer! But do be mindful of portions (fill up on non-starchy veg!) and combine sweet potatoes with healthy fats and protein to help avoid blood sugar spikes. You might top with these w nut butter for a savory/sweet breakfast or w mashed avocado for a healthy side. I like to add a few roasted slices to our salads.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees; line a large sheet pan with parchment paper
- scrub the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch rounds
- prepare the spice mix by mixing all of the dry spices together
- place the sweet potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil or avocado oil; sprinkle with spice blend and layer on the sheet plan, being careful not to crowd the potatoes
- roast for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time
- serve and enjoy!
