Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar (for extra sweetness)

Equipment

  • oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform cubes, about 1-inch in size. This ensures even cooking.
  3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated. For a sweeter taste, add maple syrup or brown sugar at this stage.
  4. Roast: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy cleanup!).
  5. Bake: Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitution Notes: Olive Oil can be substituted with coconut oil or avocado oil. Maple Syrup or Brown Sugar can be omitted for a less sweet option.
Pro Tips & Variations: Ensure sweet potato cubes are roughly the same size for even cooking. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. Variations include using vegan butter, adding cayenne pepper for heat, tossing with fresh rosemary or thyme, and it is naturally gluten free and vegan.
