  ADVERTISEMENT

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or any melty cheese of your choice

• Fresh chopped parsley or thyme (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1 – Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2 – Season the Potatoes:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure each round is evenly coated.

Step 3 – Roast Until Tender:
Arrange the seasoned rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Flip each round carefully and roast for another 10–15 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 4 – Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over each sweet potato round. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5–7 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5 – Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or thyme. Add an extra pinch of black pepper if desired. Serve warm as a side dish, party snack, or vegetarian main.

Serving Tips:
These cheesy rounds pair beautifully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or a crisp green salad. They can also be served as finger food with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a garlicky dipping sauce on the side.
