Ingredients
– **Sweet potatoes** – 4 medium (about 2 lbs)
– **Olive oil** – 2 tbsp (or other preferred cooking oil)
– **Salt** – 1 tsp
– **Black pepper** – ½ tsp
– **Garlic powder** – ½ tsp (optional)
– **Paprika** – ½ tsp (optional)
– **Fresh herbs** (such as thyme or rosemary) – 1-2 sprigs (optional)
### Optional Additions
– **Cinnamon** – A pinch for a sweet, warm flavor.
– **Chili powder or cayenne pepper** – For a spicy kick.
– **Honey or maple syrup** – To enhance the sweetness.
– **Lemon zest** – For a refreshing citrus note.
– **Parmesan cheese** – For a savory, umami touch.
– **Chopped nuts** (like pecans or walnuts) – For texture and additional flavor.
### Tips for Success
1. **Cut Evenly**: To ensure even cooking, cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes or wedges. This helps them cook at the same rate.
2. **Preheat the Oven**: Always preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before roasting to get the perfect caramelization.
3. **Use a Baking Sheet**: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will cause them to steam rather than roast, preventing them from crisping up.
4. **Flip Halfway**: Turn the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
5. **Test for Doneness**: Insert a fork or skewer to check tenderness. It should go in easily when the potatoes are fully cooked.
