Whole30 Sweet & Savory Sweet Potato Slices
INGREDIENTS:
3-4 large sweet potatoes
2-3 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive oil, but I prefer coconut oil)
Every Day Spice (or favorite Whole30 seasoning blend)
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
cinnamon
other seasonings like rosemary, thyme, paprika, chili powder, etc.
STEPS:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Clean and peel potatoes.
Slice potatoes in even-width slices.
Cover baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil, then place potato slices in single layer on foil.
Heat coconut oil in microwave for 10 seconds and then brush onto potato slices.
Season with your favorite spice blend or just salt and pepper.
Flip slices over and repeat (brush with coconut oil and season potatoes).
Depending on potato slice thickness, bake in oven for 20-30 minutes, then flip the potatoes over and bake for additional 20-25 minutes. Timing depends on thickness of potato slices and preferred level of doneness. We like ours so they are just slightly browned and a little chewy.
TIPS:
If you have a food processor that slices vegetables, this will be a Godsend as we used ours for the first time to slice potatoes and loved the results. Even-width slices without any work!
My favorite way to cook the sweet potatoes is with coconut oil (instead of olive oil) as it gives them the perfect amount of sweetness without tasting like coconut. Give it a try!
You can create your own variations for these. We made 3 batches: 1.) Coconut Oil and Everyday Spice Blend 2.) Coconut Oil and Sea Salt & Pepper. 3.) Coconut Oil and Cinnamon.
TASTE TEST: This was our FAVORITE side dish we've had yet. I used to make these all the time as snacks, so I'm glad we remembered an old favorite of ours.
