Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to spice preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)

Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

1 fresh lime, cut into wedges

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4 inch rounds to ensure they cook evenly.

      Season the Rounds: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the sweet potato rounds to the bowl and toss them well until they are fully coated with the spice mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.

            Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the sweet potato rounds with grated Parmesan cheese if using. Let them cool slightly before garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
