Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½-1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Peel the 1 large sweet potato and cut it up into cubes. Toss the cubes in the 2 tablespoons olive oil and ½-1 teaspoon fine sea salt - I do this right on the baking sheet but you can also do it in a bowl.
- Spread the sweet potatoes out on the baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for about 35-45 minutes, checking to see if the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork. When done, remove from oven and serve.
Notes
- Try to cut the potato cubes uniformly. Let's be real - it's hard to make manually cut produce even if you're not a professional chef! However, if possible, try to make the cubes around the same size so that they all cook evenly.
- Increase the quantities. This dish is fantastic, whether made with one, two, or five sweet potatoes, perfect for serving a crowd. Go ahead and increase the quantities for as much as you need.
- Timing may vary. Depending on your oven, you may need to bake the sweet potatoes a little longer. I like to check around 30 minutes, give the pan a shake, and continue checking so that the potatoes don't burn.
- Add seasonings. In addition to salt, you could add black or white pepper, garlic powder or garlic salt, and fresh or dried herbs like oregano or rosemary.
