Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.

      Season the Rounds: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato rounds. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the sweet potato slices. Toss well until all rounds are evenly coated with oil and spices.

        Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not crowded, for even cooking.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick.

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