Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Rounds
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes Choose firm and smooth ones for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Can be replaced with coconut oil for a twist in flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
For the Topping
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows Look for vegan options if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup Optional for drizzling before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub each sweet potato thoroughly. Slice them into half-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, sea salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they are well coated.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato rounds in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through (10 minutes in) until they're tender and slightly crispy.
  2. Remove the rounds from the oven and sprinkle mini marshmallows generously on top of each round.
  3. Set the oven to broil for 1-3 minutes, watching closely until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted.
  4. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

These rounds are best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven to restore crispiness. You can switch up the spices or try different toppings for variety.
