Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cube sweet potatoes into one-inch pieces.
- Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of the chipotle powder. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Place sweet potatoes in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes until they begin to soften.
