Spicy Sweet Potato Rounds with Cilantro Lime Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or vegan yogurt
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sauce)
• Salt, to taste (for sauce)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the rounds are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
5. While the sweet potatoes bake, prepare the cilantro lime sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, lime juice, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth.
6. Serve the baked sweet potato rounds warm, drizzled with the cilantro lime sauce or served on the side for dipping.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, place the sweet potato slices on a wire rack over the baking sheet.
• Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
• Use vegan yogurt to keep this appetizer dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
