Which is the reason why I tend to use these sweet potatoes so much, as well as how how versatile they are. In this recipe I have baked the sweet potatoes in thin slices and not only does it look extremely pretty but the texture you are presented with at the end is amazing. Crispy On the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. This recipe is perfect for lunch and the sweet potatoes go excellent as a side to any bbq on a hot summers day.
