# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but comes together faster than you'd expect, leaving you genuinely satisfied instead of reaching for snacks an hour later.
  • Once you nail the roasting part, you can top however your mood dictates, so it never gets boring even when you make it twice a week.
  • The edges get crispy while the inside stays soft, creating a texture contrast that makes you want to keep eating even when you're full.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet or they'll steam instead of roast; give each slice room to breathe and crisp up properly.
  • Flipping halfway through is non-negotiable if you want both sides golden, which is the whole point of this dish.
03 -
  • If you want extra crispiness, run the roasted slices through a toaster for two minutes afterward; it's unconventional but it works beautifully.
  • Prepare your toppings while the sweet potatoes are roasting so everything is ready to go when they come out of the oven.
