Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes. Wash, peel, and cut them into ½-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces about the same size so they cook evenly.

- Mix well. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Roast the sweet potatoes. Spread them across the baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not piled on top of each other.
