Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your preferred spice level)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and less mess.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Start by washing and peeling the sweet potatoes. Slice them into uniform 1/2-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking and place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

      Season the Rounds: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato rounds evenly. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture generously over the sweet potato slices, then toss everything together until each round is well-coated with the oil and spices.

        Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are well spaced to allow for optimal crisping; overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than roasting.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping the sweet potato rounds halfway through the cooking time. They should come out golden brown with crispy edges when done.

            Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the sweet potato rounds from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top for a burst of color and flavor. Offer lime wedges on the side to add a zesty touch to each bite.

              Enjoy your deliciously spicy chili sweet potato rounds, perfect as a snack, appetizer, or flavorful side dish!
