These roasted spiced sweet potato planks are nothing short of fantastic! Super easy to prepare and has only 5 ingredients. Makes a great side to any dish. Leftovers can be for breakfast or lunch served with some eggs.
Place the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes to get it hot.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and chili powder. Combine well.
Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes.
Slice them into ½ slices - we’re not looking for super crisp for this one but rather a soft velvety inside and maybe some crispy edges if we’re lucky.
Remove pan from oven and drizzle with the oil then tilt the pan to make sure the surface is coated.
Arrange the slices on the hot oiled baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. I use a neutral oil for the pan, but you can use olive oil or coconut oil.
After 20 minutes, flip them over and sprinkle with the spice and roast another 30 minutes. I only spice the one side and it’s perfect and make sure you use all the spice.
If you’re looking for more color or caramelization, put these under a broiler for a minute. Make sure you check them so they don’t go from caramelized to burnt.
Any leftovers can be heated up under a broiler for a minute or two or heated in a toaster oven.
