smoky sweet potatoes

We started eating sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes when I did my first Whole30 about three years ago. I have grown to love them way more than their white relative. These sweet potatoes are smoky and sweet at the same time. They have become a staple in our house, and it doesn't matter how many I make, there are rarely leftovers.

Smoky Sweet Potatoes

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cayenne (less if you don't like a little kick)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel and cube sweet potatoes, add to a bowl and toss in olive oil to coat. Mix all spices in a little bowl, then sprinkle over the potatoes. I usually sprinkle a little, then toss to coat. Sprinkle a little more, toss to coat, until the potatoes are nice and coated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the potatoes out on the pan. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing about half way. Then bump the temp up to 425 degrees and bake for 15-20 more minutes, or until slightly brown.
