Roasted Sweet Potatoes

 

Roasted sweet potatoes are simple to make and packed with flavor. Here’s a basic recipe to get them crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes or wedges
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for a hint of warmth)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings in a bowl.
3. Spread on a baking sheet: Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and fork-tender.
5. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
