• Prep:

  
Preheat oven to 400°F. A large unlined black sheet pan works best for this recipe.
• Cut potatoes:


  Wash, peel (if desired), and cut sweet potatoes into ¾-inch cubes.
  2 pounds sweet potatoes
• Season:


  Toss sweet potatoes with oil and salt directly on the sheet pan (you can use a bowl, but who wants to do extra dishes :D)
  2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt

Seasonings

• Sweet maple version:

  Evenly drizzle the maple syrup over the potatoes and sprinkle with cinnamon. Toss well.
  1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Savory version:

  Evenly sprinkle all seasonings over the potatoes and toss well.
  1 teaspoon ground paprika, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, Black pepper

Roast

• Assemble:

  Spread evenly in a single layer (use two pans if your pan is too small to hold the potatoes in a single layer without crowding.)
• Bake:


  Bake for 10 minutes, toss carefully, then continue baking for around 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender. Increase heat to 425°F for last 5 minutes if desiring a deeper roast.
