Description
These sweet potato bows are a fun and healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks. Made with simple ingredients, they offer a delightful sweetness and a satisfying texture.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the sweet potato.
- Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, cut thin, ribbon-like strips from the sweet potato.
- In a bowl, toss the sweet potato ribbons with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated sweet potato ribbons in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crispy and the sweet potato is tender. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For crispier bows, bake for a few extra minutes, but watch them closely.
- You can experiment with other spices like ginger or cardamom.
- These are best enjoyed fresh.
