  1. 1

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool.
