4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chopped pecans or walnuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Spread the coated sweet potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they’re not too crowded; this will help them caramelize nicely!
Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized. Give them a stir halfway through to ensure that even roasting.
Once they’re done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top for an added crunch!
