RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

Things To Try

Look up other spices to use:

1. Finely chopped garlic, olive oil and salt. Sometimes a sprinkle of thyme, herbs de Provence or chopped rosemary.

2. Sage, thyme, rosemary, or some combination of the three go very well with roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash, with a little nutmeg.

3. Toss them in curry.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425F.

2. Peel and cube your sweet potatoes, making sure they are about the same size, so they cook evenly. ½-1 inch cubes will do it.

3. Drizzle a baking sheet with your oil, swish it around with a pastry brush or your fingers, just to cover it.

4. Dump (ever so lovingly) your cubed potatoes onto the sheet pan.

5. Drizzle the potatoes with your oil, and toss them with your hands to make sure they are coated. Spread them out in a single layer, so they brown and not steam. (We're not looking for mashed potatoes here.)

6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking and giving them a stir halfway through.

7. Take them out of the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
