Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel (optional) the sweet potatoes, then cut them into cubes or wedges.
  3. Season the Sweet Potatoes: Place the cut sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, cinnamon, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss them until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer for even roasting.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  6. Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and serve immediately. You can garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary if you like.
