Steps
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220 °C) (220°C (425 °F)).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cube them into 1/2-inch pieces.
For Plain Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes to your largest sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar.
For Seasoned Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes to your largest sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the potatoes out in a single, even layer. Ensure no potatoes are overlapping to prevent them from steaming; use a second sheet pan if necessary.
Place in the oven and roast for a total of 27–35 minutes.
Flip the potatoes every 10–15 minutes (flipping every 10 minutes is recommended) to ensure even browning and caramelization on all sides.
Remove from the oven when the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy/caramelized on the outside.
Notes
Use a large sheet pan (like a 15x21 inch) to give the potatoes plenty of room to roast rather than steam. Stick with orange or red-skinned sweet potatoes (like Red Garnet or Jewel) for a creamier, sweeter result. If using table salt instead of fine sea salt, reduce the amount slightly. For the seasoned version, you can substitute chipotle chili powder or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
