Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into ½ inch thick rounds

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make the cleanup easier, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato rounds and pour the olive oil over them. Toss the rounds until they are fully coated in oil.

      Combine the Spices: In a separate small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice blend onto the sweet potatoes and toss well to ensure that each round is evenly coated.

        Bake the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. This helps them cook evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and tender when done.

          Prepare the Honey Dressing: While the sweet potatoes are baking, take a small bowl and whisk together the honey (or maple syrup) and apple cider vinegar until thoroughly mixed.

            Toss & Serve: Once the sweet potatoes are out of the oven, drizzle the honey dressing over them while they are still warm. Gently toss the rounds to ensure they are coated in the sweet and tangy mixture.

              Garnish & Enjoy: Transfer the sweet potato rounds to a serving platter. Garnish generously with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately alongside lime wedges for an added burst of freshness and tang.
