Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2–3 medium sweet potatoes (peeled or unpeeled, your choice)
• 2–3 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Optional Add-ins (pick one or mix a few):
• ½ tsp garlic powder or smoked paprika
• ½ tsp cumin or chili powder (for a spiced version)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (for a hint of sweetness)
• Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), added halfway through roasting

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cut sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes for even roasting.
3. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like.
4. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer — don’t overcrowd or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until browned and crispy on the edges and soft inside.

 Tips for Best Results:

Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and better browning.

Don’t overcrowd the pan — use two sheets if needed.

For extra crispiness, roast at 450°F (but watch closely).
