Roasted Sweet Potatoes

 2 large orange sweet potatoes, preferably garnet or jewel

– 2 tbsp olive oil @bonodisiciliausa

– 1 tsp sea salt

– 1 tsp garlic powder

– 1 tsp smoked paprika



1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Wash the sweet potatoes really well, then dry them thoroughly.

3. Trim off the ends, then cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise.

4. Rub the cut sides with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

5. Place cut-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. Roast at 375°F for 1 hour. Don’t flip or move them.

7. When they come out, let them sit on the pan for 10 minutes before lifting.

8. Carefully remove with a thin spatula to keep that caramelized bottom intact.

Biggest tips:
– Use large orange sweet potatoes, not tiny skinny ones
– Parchment paper really helps
– Don’t rush the 375°F / 1 hour bake
– Let them rest 10 minutes before removing so the sugars can set

That’s how you get the glossy, candy-like bottom everyone is trying to make 😋
