Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut in 1" cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes into small cubes (remove the peel if you prefer or leave it on). Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, melt butter in the microwave in 15 second intervals until fully melted. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour the melted butter mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

Notes

Serve with a protein source (such as chicken, fish, or beef) and a non-starchy veggie.
Store leftover roasted sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
Swap out the melted butter for extra virgin olive oil if desired.
