Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato (~10-12 ounces)
½ Tablespoon canola or avocado oil
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Clean and scrub potatoes well. Do not peel. Cut a thin piece off one side of your potato, making a flat side for safest cutting. Lay sweet potato on flat side.
Cut potato in half. Lay potato halves on flat side and cut into halves one more time. If your potato is larger than suggested or is extra wide, cut into thirds.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oil, cinnamon, and salt. Add potatoes to bowl, and using a spatula or clean hands, toss to evenly coat with oil mixture.
Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, flat side down. Roast 20-25 minutes or until potatoes begin to brown and are easily pierced with a fork. Enjoy!

Notes

We use weight instead of volume for the sweet potato because sizes can be highly variable. Weigh at the store or use a kitchen scale. If your sweet potato is significantly smaller or larger than indicated in the recipe, just adjust the time! Add more time for larger potatoes, and subtract time for smaller ones.

This recipe easily scales up. For each sweet potato, use ½ Tablespoon oil, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
