Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes for uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with melted coconut oil, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper (if using). Toss until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none of the pieces are overlapping to ensure even roasting.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized at the edges, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or a wholesome snack.
