Ingredients

4 pounds sweet potatoes scrubbed, ends trimmed and sliced into ¾ inch thick rounds, (about 3 medium sweet potatoes)
1 ½ Tablespoons canola oil or another neutral-flavored cooking oil
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne optional - omit if you don't want your sweet potatoes to be spicy

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss sliced sweet potatoes with 1 ½ Tablespoons canola oil, 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, and ⅛ teaspoon cayenne. Arrange sweet potatoes on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Cover tightly with aluminium foil.
Adjust oven rack to middle position and place baking sheet on the rack. Heat oven to 425°F. Cook for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and continue roasting until the bottoms of the sweet potatoes are lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Flip sweet potatoes and roast for an additional 18-20 minutes, until the second side of the potatoes are browned.
