Abstract: In this paper we establish extit{formulae} for the inflationary slow-roll parameters epsilon, eta and zeta as functions of the Ricci scalar R for f(R) theories of gravity. As examples, we present the analytic and numerical solutions of epsilon, eta and zeta as functions of the number of e-folds N in two important instances: for the Starobinsky model and for a f(R) reconstruction of the alpha-Attractors. The highlight of our proposal is to rewrite the slow-roll parameters in terms of f(R), which allows to find directly nms, r, alphams and fextNLextequil as functions of R itself. We obtain that both models indicate a small contribution to the non-Gaussianity parameters, which are in good agreement with current observational constraints.
