Sweet Potato Slices
- 4 fairly large & thick sweet potatoes
- dried thyme
- dried rosemary
- pepper (ground)
-
Place an oven tray in the oven and heat the oven to 180°C
-
Keeping the skin on, slice the sweet potatoes width ways (forming small circles), making each slice about ½ -1 cm thick (the thicker they are, the longer it will take to become crispy)
-
Take out the tray, spray very lightly with some olive oil, sprinkle the herbs and pepper on the tray, and place the slices on it
-
Sprinkle the herbs and pepper on top of the slices, enough to almost cover them
-
Place back in the oven
-
Turn the pieces over after 15 minutes (there shouldn’t be any need to add more oil)
-
Remove from the oven once slightly browned or cooked through
-
If you want them crispier, leave them in for a bit longer
Tip Sweet potato is a lower GI food than other potatoes, and so is a good choice if you want more sustained energy and a more gradual effect on your blood sugar levels. The rosemary and thyme add a salty flavour to this meal, so taste it before you add any more salt – you’ll find it’s not really necessary.
Serve as the carbohydrate part of your main course.
