• The best sources of Vitamin A because they contain high levels of beta-carotene.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease with oil a large baking dish. Wash and peel sweet potatoes, then cut into thin round slices.

2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes slices with olive oil and seasonings (I used thyme); make sure they get well coated.

3. Arrange potato slices vertically in the dish. Season with salt, black pepper and thyme (rosemary, oregano).

4. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

5. Remove foil and bake until the bottoms are golden brown. Test the potatoes with a fork, they should be cooked through.

Note: Baking time will depend on the thickness of your sweet potato slices: the thicker, the longer.

Enjoy!
