    3. 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.
    4. Let sit for about 20 minutes, until water releases from the sweet potatoes and the slices are soft and flexible.
    5. Brush the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with the olive oil.
    6. 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.
    7. Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sweet potato slices are tender.
