Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 3 large sweet potatoes, cut into chunks

• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

How To Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat your oven to 425��F (220��C). While it���s doing its thing, peel and chop your sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks. The smaller the pieces, the faster and more evenly they’ll cook!
2. Toss those stunning chunks into a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and a good grinding of black pepper. Give everything a good jiggle until everything���s coated and glistening!
3. Spread those beauties out on a large baking sheet, making sure they ain���t touching. Pop ’em in the oven for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when you can easily pierce them with a fork and they���ve got that irresistible golden edge.
4. Take ’em out, let ’em cool just a bit before serving. Beware, these lil’ nuggets of heaven have a habit of disappearing fast!

Tips For The Best Results

• Always preheat your oven. This ensures your spuds cook evenly.
• Don���t crowd your baking sheet. If the potatoes are too close or overlapping, they���ll steam instead of roasting. No one likes soggy spuds!

Storage Tips

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
