Roasted Sweet Potatoes Cinnamon (Printable Version)

Tender sweet potatoes tossed in cinnamon sugar and roasted to a golden, flavorful finish.

# What You Need:

01 - 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil

03 - 1½ tsp ground cinnamon

04 - ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

05 - ½ tsp fine sea salt

06 - 2 tbsp light brown sugar or coconut sugar

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a large bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.

03 - In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), salt, and brown sugar.

04 - Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss well to coat evenly.

05 - Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

06 - Roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until sweet potatoes are golden and tender.

07 - Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of maple syrup.

01 -

The edges get caramelized and almost candy like while the centers stay creamy soft
They come together in under an hour but taste like something from a restaurant

02 -

Overcrowding the pan is the quickest way to end up with soggy potatoes instead of crispy edges
Stirring halfway through prevents the bottom pieces from burning while the top stays undercooked

03 -

Peeling the potatoes is optional if you like the texture of the skin, but it does help the coating stick better
Coconut oil adds a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the cinnamon and sugar
