Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes Uniform size helps everything cook evenly.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Substitute avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
  • 1 teaspoon salt For lower sodium, cut the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a rack in the center.
  2. Put the sweet potato cubes into a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the potatoes and toss until every cube has a light coating.
  4. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet, giving them room to roast instead of steam.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through. Look for tender centers and caramelized, slightly crisp edges.
  2. Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
