Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 1 large sweet potato or two medium sweet potatoes)
- 1 tablespoons of melted butter, coconut oil, or olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Wash and peel your sweet potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, around 1/2 inch in size.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with butter, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure the cubes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Transfer the cubed sweet potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Make sure the cubes are spread out in a single layer and not touching each other.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring and flipping every 10 minutes. Roast until the sweet potato cubes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. You can check their doneness by piercing them with a fork – they should be soft and tender.
- Once the sweet potato cubes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot as a side dish or snack.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave before serving. (Or eat them cold like my oldest son.)
