Description
Easy oven-roasted sweet potatoes tossed with olive oil and salt, then roasted until tender and golden for a tasty side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes, washed and dried
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F with a metal sheet pan on the middle rack.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the sweet potatoes. Cut them into large cubes, about ½ to 1 inch on each side.
- Toss the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl with the olive oil and salt.
- Carefully remove the hot sheet pan from the oven. Spread the sweet potatoes across it, leaving space between the pieces so they roast rather than steam. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Flip the sweet potatoes and roast for another 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve.
Notes
- Preheating the sheet pan helps the sweet potatoes roast and brown.
- Leave space between the potato cubes; overcrowding the pan can cause them to steam.
- Cut the cubes into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
