Ingredients
1 and Β½ tablespoons starch (such as cornstarch, potato starch, or arrowroot)
2 medium orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, sliced into ΒΌ-inch rounds
2 tablespoons high heat oil (such as avocado oil)
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme preferred, or sage or rosemary), chopped
Β½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1-Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Start by preheating your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any sticking mishaps. This step sets the stage for those golden, crispy results that everyone loves.
2-Coat the sweet potato rounds: Next, place the sweet potato rounds in a bowl and toss them with the starch until theyβre evenly coated this is what gives them that awesome crunch. Then, drizzle on the oil and give everything another good mix to make sure itβs all covered. Add in the fresh herbs, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper, and toss once more to blend the flavors beautifully.
3-Arrange and roast: Arrange the rounds in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they have space to crisp up properly. Pop them in the oven and roast for 50 minutes, remembering to turn them halfway through for even browning. The total time is about 1 hour and 5 minutes, with 15 minutes for prep and 50 for cooking, and youβll end up with a dish thatβs soft inside and crispy outside.
