ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Ingredients:

• Sweet potatoes (as many as you’d like)
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Optional: Herbs and spices (such as rosemary, thyme, paprika, or cayenne pepper)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
   • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes or wedges, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Coat with Olive Oil:
   • Place the sweet potato pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them, ensuring they are well-coated. The oil helps them crisp up during roasting.
4. Season:
   • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the sweet potatoes to taste. Feel free to add herbs and spices of your choice for additional flavor.
5. Toss to Coat:
   • Toss the sweet potatoes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
   • Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly.
7. Roast in the Oven:
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can toss them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
8. Serve:
   • Once the sweet potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.
9. Optional Garnish:
   • You can garnish the roasted sweet potatoes with fresh herbs, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of additional spices before serving.

Enjoy your delicious roasted sweet potatoes! They make a great side dish or a healthy snack.
