Delicious baked sweet potato recipe - a perfect side dish or healthy snack Preparation time: 10 minutes Baking time: 30-35 minutes Total time: 45-45 minutes Number of servings: 2-3 Sweet potato, with its soft texture and sweet taste, is an excellent choice for a healthy and savory dish. In this simple recipe, we will transform the sweet potato into a delicious dish, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for serving as a side or snack. Necessary ingredients: - 1 large sweet potato (approximately 300-400 g) - 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil - 1 teaspoon of paprika (smoked or sweet, as preferred) - 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder - Salt and pepper, to taste Step 1: Preparing the sweet potato Start by preheating the oven to 200°C (390°F). This step is essential for achieving even and crispy baking. Meanwhile, peel the sweet potato with a knife or a peeler. By adding a thin layer of oil to the potato slices, you will help achieve a crispy texture. Wash the potato well under cold water to remove impurities. Once clean, slice it into thin pieces, about 5 mm thick. Even slicing will help achieve even baking. Step 2: Seasoning the sweet potato slices In a large bowl, add the sweet potato slices and drizzle them with olive oil. Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then mix well with a spatula or your hands, ensuring each slice is well coated with the spices. Paprika adds a smoky note and vibrant color, while garlic powder provides a delicious aroma. Step 3: Baking Grease a baking tray with a tablespoon of oil or use parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer, without overlapping, to achieve even baking. Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the potatoes bake for 30-35 minutes. It is important to flip the slices halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning. When the potatoes are golden and crispy, they are ready to be taken out of the oven. Step 4: Serving After baking, remove the tray from the oven and let the potatoes cool for a few minutes. You can serve them warm, sprinkled with a little extra salt or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme. This baked sweet potato pairs perfectly with yogurt or hummus dips, providing a pleasant contrast of textures and flavors. Variations and useful tips: - If you want to add extra flavor, you can sprinkle the potato slices with a spice mix, such as cumin or even cinnamon, for a sweet note. - Instead of olive oil, you can use coconut oil for an exotic taste. - Experiment with other vegetables: carrots or zucchini can be added to the mix for a colorful and healthy side dish. This baked sweet potato recipe is not only easy to make but also versatile, allowing you to adapt it to your tastes. Enjoy your dish and savor unique flavors!
