02 - 2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil

03 - 2 tbsp granulated sugar

04 - 1½ tsp ground cinnamon

05 - ¼ tsp fine sea salt

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

03 - In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

04 - Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.

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

06 - Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden, caramelized, and tender.

01 -

The caramelized edges create this perfect crispy tender contrast that makes them impossible to stop eating
They take just 10 minutes to prep but taste like something from a restaurant kitchen

02 -

Dont crowd the baking sheet or theyll steam instead of roast losing that crispy edge we love
The second sugar coating right out of the oven is what creates that restaurant quality finish

03 -

Cut your potatoes into uniform cubes so they cook at the same rate
Use a light colored baking sheet dark ones can cause the bottoms to burn before the tops caramelize
