Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or smoked Gouda)
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Arrange the slices on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, prepare the toppings: crumble the cooked bacon, shred the cheese, and chop the green onions and cilantro.

- Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve warm.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and add extra cheese and herbs. To make it vegan, use dairy-free alternatives for sour cream and cheese.
