Xanthan Gum Free Sweet Potato Rounds with Crispy Sage

These golden rounds are the kind of side dish that disappears before you even sit down — caramelized edges, warm spice, and a shatteringly crisp sage leaf on top of every single bite. Sweet potato, coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, and fresh sage are all you need, and every one of those ingredients is naturally free of thickeners and binders, so there's nothing to scrutinize on a label. That matters more than it sounds, because plenty of packaged seasonings and sauces sneak in additives that people following a strict xanthan-free approach have to constantly watch for. Here, the ingredient list is clean and completely transparent. The technique is straightforward too — a hot oven does the heavy lifting, and a quick fry in coconut oil transforms the sage leaves into something almost impossibly fragrant and crunchy. A pinch of flaky salt at the end pulls the whole thing together and makes it feel genuinely restaurant-worthy. Whether you're serving these as a weeknight side or bringing them to a gathering, they're the kind of recipe that earns requests for the details.
