Oven baked / roasted sweet potato slices (AKA coins, rounds, medallions) are healthy, delicious, easy, and an addicting side dish recipe.
Variations on Roasted Sweet Potato Coins with Cumin
Leave the sweet potato skin on or take it off depending on your preference. Leaving on the skin is easier plus it's full of nutrients and gives more texture.
Add a little maple syrup, brown sugar, or cinnamon if you want the roasted sweet potatoes to taste sweeter. Add the syrup or sweetener half way through the cooking time so it doesn't burn.
Look for reddish-brown sweet potatoes with an orange interior like garnet, beauregard, or jewel. I prefer thinner longer sweet potatoes for coins but big fatties can be used as well.
Don't like cumin? Cool the technique is the same. Leave the cumin out and follow the recipe. Add your favorite spices if you like.
