Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, about 2 lbs. $2.50
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.32
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar $0.03
- 1 tsp smoked paprika $0.10
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, optional $0.02
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- Freshly cracked pepper, 10-15 cranks of a pepper mill $0.03
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1/8-inch thick slices.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper.
- Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil over top. Sprinkle the spice mix over the sweet potatoes, then toss until the potatoes are evenly coated in oil and spices.
- Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a casserole dish, stacked in a row like a deck of cards. They don't have to be perfect.
- Cover the dish with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and let cook for an additional 15 minutes. Test the sweet potatoes with a fork for doneness. If they're still firm, allow them to roast for an additional 10-15 minutes. If they become too brown during that time, simply cover the dish with foil to prevent further browning.
