Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 1/2 Tbsp virgin coconut oil, melted or softened
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon, ground
2 tsp light brown sugar, packed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (melt coconut oil) treat it as you would butter.
  • 2. In a large bowl, toss together diced potatoes, coconut oil, salt, cinnamon and chili powder. (reserve the brown sugar for later)
  • 3. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 45 mins to 1 hour
  • 4. Pull the pan out of the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the potatoes, toss and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy these delicious potatoes as a side dish instead of the usual. Much healthier too!
