Ingredients

• 4 medium Sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Peel the sweet potatoes (optional, depending on your preference) and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 4

Place the sweet potato cubes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper, and cinnamon if desired. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes using a spatula to turn them, and roast for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 7

Add fresh rosemary, if using, during the last 5 minutes of roasting to infuse the potatoes with a subtle herbal flavor.

Step 8

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
