I typically prep ingredients on Sundays so that we always have some things recipe ready or meal ready to go. As part of my meal prepping I like to roast a vegetable and some sweet potatoes. Again my kids love these! In a pinch on a busy night if these are pre-cooked and sitting in the fridge I can warm them these and serve with some previously roasted carrots or green beans and some leftover chicken and give them a healthy complete meal. I like to eat these with eggs and a vegetable for breakfast on work-out days or throw some into another dish I am preparing.
Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes, cut in similar sized small cubes
Olive oil (or other - coconut oil, etc.) - I usually use about 1 Tbsp
Salt and pepper
Rosemary, cinnamon or other spices to your liking! (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub and cut up your sweet potatoes (we don't peel ours but you can if you prefer. This saves time and fiber!) Try to make them similar in size so they cook evenly. I cut mine pretty small so they will cook in 20 minutes. Spread them out on a baking sheet and drizzle with your favorite oil. We love the flavor of olive oil the best so we use that. Toss to coat but make sure they are in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper or other spices, as desired. Bake to desired consistency, usually about 15-20 minutes, but depending on their size and how well done you like them, stirring halfway though. If you are meal prepping allow to cool before putting away in the fridge.
