Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks, roughly 1-inch pieces, ensuring a consistent size for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato chunks with olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining some space between the chunks for optimal crisping.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo Perfectly Roasted Sweet Potatoes as a nutritious side dish!
