Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even-sized chunks or wedges to ensure they cook evenly.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Add the sweet potato pieces to the bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and then toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly with the oil and flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.
Place the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. If needed, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking.
The sweet potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Adjust the baking time if necessary based on your oven.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack.
Tips:
- Choose even-sized sweet potatoes to ensure uniform cooking. This will help them roast evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding freshly chopped fennel fronds when tossing the sweet potatoes in the olive oil and spices.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Keep an eye on your sweet potatoes as they roast, and stir them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they caramelize evenly on all sides.
Once your Chili and Fennel Sweet Potatoes are perfectly roasted, you'll find they make an excellent accompaniment to any main course. With their delightful blend of spices and natural sweetness, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy this quick and easy recipe that combines comfort and flavor in every delicious bite.
