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:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Season:
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the sweet potatoes to taste. Feel free to add herbs and spices of your choice for additional flavor.
- Toss to Coat:
- Toss the sweet potatoes in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly.
- 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.
- Serve:
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- 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.
