Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- With a mandolin or a sharp knife, carefully cut the sweet potatoes into ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1 mm) thick slices.
- Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl, add the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, and toss the potatoes until evenly coated.
- Let sit for about 20 minutes, until water releases from the sweet potatoes and the slices are soft and flexible.
- Brush the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with the olive oil.
- Arrange 5 sweet potato slices around the sides of a muffin cup, overlapping slightly. Place 1 slice on the bottom to create a flower. Repeat with the remaining potato slices. Sprinkle a bit of cheese in the bottom of each cup.
- Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sweet potato slices are tender.
- Remove the potato cups from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Add your desired fillings to the cups. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are completely cooked and/or the vegetables are tender. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Serve warm.
- Enjoy!
