Plain Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and cube sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Add to your largest sheet pan and add the melted coconut oil, salt, and brown sugar on top. Toss to coat all the sweet potatoes, then spread out in an even layer. You don’t want any potatoes overlapping or you’ll end up with steamed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes.

Notes

Use chipotle chili powder and/or smoked paprika for a smokey flavor. If you want to make your sweet potatoes even spicier, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Store leftover roasted sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness.
