Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon

  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions

  • Optional: sour cream for serving

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. No need to peel, skins get crisp in the oven. (If you prefer a softer texture, go ahead and peel them.)
  • Toss rounds with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Spread on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once, until browned on the edges and fork-tender.
  • Layer half the roasted sweet potato rounds in a small baking dish. Sprinkle with half the cheese and bacon.
  • Repeat with remaining rounds, cheese, and bacon.
  • Return dish to oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Top with sliced green onions and serve warm, with a fork.
