🔪 How to Prep Sweet Potatoes for Roasting

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
Peel if desired — or leave the skin on for extra fiber and texture.
Cut into even chunks (about 1-inch pieces) or wedges for uniform cooking.

✨ Tip: The smaller the pieces, the crispier they get!

🔥 Roasting Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) — the high heat helps caramelize the edges.

2. Toss the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of spices until evenly coated.

3. Spread on a Baking Sheet

Arrange in a single layer, giving each piece some space. Overcrowding = steaming instead of roasting.

4. Roast Until Golden

Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden, crisp on the edges, and tender inside.
