Recipe notes:
General: We have a family tradition of making sloppy joes for Halloween dinner and spooky roasted potatoes are the perfect side! Purple sweet potatoes: Sometimes purple sweet potatoes can be hard to find. I've had really good luck spotting them at both Sprouts Farmer's Market and Asian grocery stores or markets. Seasonings: Instead of salt and pepper, you could use cinnamon! Cinnamon and sweet potatoes are the perfect combo.Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Peel and very thinly slice sweet potatoes. I recommend a thickness of about ⅛ inch. Slice potatoes horizontally or vertically depending on the cookie cutter you plan to use for that color potato.
- Cut out your shapes. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. I line my sheet with foil for easier cleanup!
- Brush potatoes with oil on both sides, then sprinkle with salt and pepper! Bake 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
- Serve and enjoy!
