Ingredients:
About 1 tbsp honey
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp cumin
3 medium or 2 large sweet potatoes
3 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
black pepper – to taste
pinch of chili flakes (optional)
For Garnish:
pumpkin seeds
thinly sliced red onion
chili flakes
lime
cilantro
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat to 218 degrees C or 425 degrees F.
Wash with water the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt.
Slice the potatoes into ½-inch-thick rounds. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Add garlic powder, oil, chili powder, black pepper, sea salt, onion powder, and cumin over the potatoes. Toss until well coated.
Transfer the potatoes onto a sheet pan and arrange them in a single layer.
Place the sheet pan inside the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 22 to 26 minutes or until fork-tender.
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
Top each potato with a drizzle of honey and your Mexican garnishes.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Make sure to slice the potatoes into even cuts.
You leave the skin of the potatoes if they are organic. I prefer to peel the non-organic potatoes to get rid of the pesticides.
