You guys, I already know we are going to keep these whole 30, vegan and paleo roasted sweet potato rounds on repeat all season long. A stupidly easy recipe for a fall side dish, or appetizer that everyone is sure to love.
All you need is a hot oven, some thick sliced sweet potatoes, a little olive oil and lots of flavorful spices. Toss everything together, roast for about 20 minutes and done. Perfection!
Go all out with these toppings:
- goat cheese, cranberries & balsamic glaze!
- herbed ricotta and candied walnuts
- Fried sage
- black beans, guacamole and salsa
- walnut pesto + sprinkle of parmesan cheese
- toss them in brown sugar and cinnamon before roasting
- chive pesto

Remember to season them well all over, but just before throwing them in the oven, so they end up with a nicely seasoned crispy crust and tender interior. The best of both worlds I tell you!
