Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I recently made Sweet Potato Kale Salad with Cranberries, Walnuts, and Goat Cheese because I happened to have all the ingredients. I don’t expect such a refrigerator conjunction again, but I did like the idea of quickly roasting sweet potato chunks on their own or for mixing into another vegetable.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes (2 or 3 potatoes)
• 1 T. olive oil
• ¼ tsp. kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• other spices to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Peel and cut the potatoes into ½ inch cubes.
3. Toss with other ingredients.
4. Arrange in a single layer on an edged cookie sheet.
5. Roast 12 minutes or to desired tenderness.
