Ingredients

1 sweet potato (or more!)

Olive oil

Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Another way to enjoy the simplicity of a great sweet potato. Basic roasting is easy and very satisfying. Pairs well with avocado and brown rice. Also really delicious to top with this peanut sauce.

Instructions

Cubed

Drizzle with olive oil

Almost finished, crispy outside, softy inside

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450° Rinse potato and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Hint: the smaller the cubes, the faster they will cook, but too small will make them burn a little bit around the edges (not always a bad thing though).

Step 2

Drizzle with olive oil and toss with sea salt and pepper.

Step 3

Roast 35-45 minutes, stirring / turning half way. Cook until soft or crispy – however you prefer!

Step 4

Enjoy! Consider making it a meal with brown rice and avocado. A delicious peanut sauce is great on this (link).
