The Best Sweet Potato Rounds Step by Step
Step 1: Peel
Peel the sweet potatoes. If you choose to make this recipe leaving the skin on, make sure you wash them thoroughly.
Step 2: Slice the sweet potato rounds thick
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1 inch thick slices. Yes, they are that thick. That is why my kids call them "sweet potato muffins." Because they are thick, the outside crisps up in the oven while the inside gets all mushy and fluffy, almost like a custard donut filling.
Step 3: Add olive oil and seasoning
Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub it into each slice with your hand so that all of the surfaces get covered in oil, salt, and pepper. Place the sliced sweet potato on to a sheet pan covered with aluminum foil.
Step 4: Baking sliced sweet potatoes
Bake at 425ºF for 15 minutes cook time. Take them out of the oven and flip the slices over. Some of them might be soft already so be careful when flipping them over. Oooh, look at that.
Step 5: Finish baking sweet potato slices
Put the sweet potato slices back in the oven and continue roasting sweet potato for 15 more minutes. Flip again. Finally, bake for another 15 minutes and take them out of the oven. While these are not broiled sweet potatoes, you can stick them under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute at the end to give them that perfect char on top. Sweet potato medallions are done!
