Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into even chunks
  • 1 - 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • optional seasonings: cinnamon chili powder, cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop sweet potatoes into medium-sized chunks. Not too small, but not too big either. Try to make them around the same size so that they are all done cooking at the same time.

  • Place sweet potatoes, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine. Pour onto a baking sheet and cook for 30-45 minutes, until fork tender, tossing once half-way through. Remove from oven, taste and season with additional salt if needed. Serve warm or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
