Perfect roasted sweet potatoes

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Step 2

Prepare your sweet potato by cutting off the ends off to create a flat surface.

Step 3

Slice your sweet potato into cubes, fries, rounds, or wedges and place on a large baking sheet. You want the thickness to be anywhere between 1/2-inch to 1-inch. Just make sure that all slices are the same thickness.

Step 4

Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil and season with garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper. Toss the potatoes with your hands to make sure everything is coated.

Step 5

Roast at 400ºF for 20-30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes. The thicker you slice your sweet potatoes, the longer they will take to roast.
