Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the sweet potatoes (optional, depending on your preference) and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper, and cinnamon if desired. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes using a spatula to turn them, and roast for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.
Add fresh rosemary, if using, during the last 5 minutes of roasting to infuse the potatoes with a subtle herbal flavor.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
