Drizzle the oil on a large rimmed sheet tray. Add the sweet potatoes and turn them to evenly coat in the oil. You may need to use two sheet trays for this, depending on how large your potatoes are to start. You don’t want the potato rounds to be touching on the tray – give them plenty of room to roast.
