**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the oven:**
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare the sweet potatoes:**
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and texture.
3. **Cut the sweet potatoes:**
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes or slices, depending on your preference. Try to keep the pieces evenly sized so they cook uniformly.
4. **Season the sweet potatoes:**
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Make sure they are evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add any optional spices if desired.
5. **Arrange on a baking sheet:**
Spread the sweet potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
6. **Roast in the oven:**
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through. The sweet potatoes are done when they are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
7. **Serve and enjoy!**
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve as a side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack!
