Description
Crispy lemon garlic sweet potato rounds are thinly sliced sweet potatoes roasted to golden perfection with a zesty lemon garlic seasoning, delivering a tangy, savory, and lightly spiced flavor. Perfect as a side dish, snack, or appetizer.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes (peeled if desired), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2–3 tbsp olive oil
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through, until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- For extra crispiness, finish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and a little extra lemon juice if desired. Optional: top with Greek yogurt or hummus.
Notes
Optional variations include adding chili flakes or cayenne pepper for spice.
Use smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
Add grated Parmesan in the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
Mix sweet potatoes with regular potatoes for texture contrast.
Serve with tahini sauce or nutritional yeast for a vegan boost.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
