- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste, see note
Preheat your oven to 425F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2" pieces. Add them to a large baking sheet.
Add the oil and salt & pepper to the baking sheet and toss until coated. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single, even layer so they brown better.
Roast for 20 minutes, then take the baking sheet out of the oven and toss the sweet potatoes (two spoons or tongs work well). Spread them out in an even layer again.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked through and nicely browned.
- I love using sea salt or seasoning salt. See blog post for more seasoning suggestions!
