Notes
- Pick red or orange sweet potatoes as they are sweeter, creamier and less fibrous that other varieties.
- Use a baking sheet large enough to accommodate the sweet potatoes in a single layer.
- Although this recipe calls for peeled sweet potatoes, their skin is edible so you can leave it on if you prefer.
- Cut the pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Feel free to use other spices such as cayenne pepper.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3 days.
