Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare your baking sheet by greasing it.
Peel and slice sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick rounds and arrange in a single layer.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Press down gently on each slice to create a creamy texture.
Top with butter and maple syrup, then return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
Bake until crispy and caramelized, about 15 minutes more, then garnish with toasted nuts.
