To easily roast sweet potatoes, all you need is: sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, oil, a cutting board, peeler, disposable gloves, and some baking utensils. First, I recommend putting on gloves so the sweet potatoes don’t stain your hands. Then, peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Place the cubes in a large mixing bowl and add in the oil, salt, and pepper. With covered hands, mix the cubes until they’re evenly coated in oil and seasonings. Next, spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast them in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes at 425°F. Finally, serve and enjoy!
