    Roasted sweet potato rounds recipe

    Are you looking for a simple and healthy side dish for your dinner? These oven-roasted sweet potato slices are a perfect dish for any meal that never gets old (in our house, at least).

    There are a lot of other methods to cook this delicious root vegetable, but roasting is one of my favorite when I need a quick side dish.

    If you love sweet potatoes, I also recommend trying our truffle oil baked sweet potato fries, air fryer sweet potato cubes, or baked whole sweet potato in the air fryer. 

    Ingredients

    See the recipe card for the ingredients quantities at the end of the post. You will need only a few simple ingredients to make the recipe:

    • Sweet potatoes: I always use garnet or jewel sweet potatoes for roasting. They are creamy and sweet.
    • Olive oil: tossing the potatoes in olive or avocado oil will make the edges crispy.
    • Salt and seasoning: I used salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.

    Instructions

    Roasting sweet potato slices requires only 5 simple steps. You can find an overview of the instructions below. 

    Step 1. Rinse and peel the sweet potato. If you decide to keep the skin on, scrub the potato well to get rid of any dirt.

    Step 2. Slice the potato into thick even rounds. I usually make them about ½ inch thick.

    Step 3. Place the potato slices in a bowl and add olive oil, salt, and seasonings. Mix well to coat each potato slice.

    Step 4. Lay a baking sheet with some parchment paper and place the potatoes in a single layer.  Bake in the preheated to 400°F oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender with crispy edges. No flipping is required.

    Tips and tricks

    • slice the potato into evenly thick rounds for even cooking.
    • parchment paper and olive oil help with crispy edges. 
    • make it ahead of time by slicing the potato the night before and keeping it refrigerated in an airtight container.

    How to serve

    This sweet potato dish pairs well with almost any meal. It can be an easy side dish idea for any day of the week or even for your holiday feast.

    Below are a few serving ideas:

    • Roasted Whole Duck
    • Baked Thinly Sliced Chicken Breasts
    • Air fryer Chicken Meatballs
    • Air Fryer Turkey Mini Meatloaves

    Store and reheat

    Refrigerate: place any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Reheat: for best results, reheat roasted potatoes in the preheated to 375°F oven or air fryer. Microwaving might change the texture.

    Other flavors and seasoning 

    Sweet potatoes already taste great with only a little bit of salt. But if you are looking to add some flavor, below are a few ideas:

    • herbs and spices: salt, chili powder, pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning.
    • sweeteners: maple syrup, brown sugar, honey.
    • other: butter, olive oil, bacon, lime, pecan nuts.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need to peel sweet potatoes?

    It is up to your preference. Skin will add an extra texture to the potatoes.

    Do I need to soak sweet potatoes?

    It is not required to soak sweet potatoes before baking or roasting. Soaking is preferred, only if you are making thinly sliced fries.

    Can I freeze roasted sweet potatoes?

    I do not recommend freezing roasted sweet potatoes as they will become soggy after reheating. You can easily freeze mashed sweet potatoes.
