1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Prepare Sweet Potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips (about 1/4 inch thick).
3
Coat with Oil and Spices
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
4
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

6
Melt Sugar
In a saucepan over medium heat, add sugar and stir constantly until it melts and turns a golden amber color.
7
Add Butter
Once the sugar has melted, carefully add the butter and stir until fully incorporated.
8
Incorporate Cream
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.
9
Finish with Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before serving.
