This was created out of pure necessity of getting my family to eat this vegetable. There are a ton of recipes out there for casseroles using these and yams but they are so cloyingly sweet that I went back to the basics and wow! Even our dog eats them!
3 large sweet potatoes or yams
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. ground black pepper
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Peel and cut the potatoes/yams into chunks – like if you were making a potato salad. Spread them onto a cookie sheet. Pour the olive oil on, then sprinkle with the salt & pepper. Using your hands mix it all up. Pop it into the oven for 1 hour, mixing it up half way through.
If you like a little kick, sprinkle on red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. That’s great too!
