Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • Yield: 4-6 servings as a side dish

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4″ rounds (about 6 medium)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Stir potato slices in a bowl with oil, salt and pepper until evenly coated. Place them on a foil-lined and greased baking sheet in a single layer. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  2. Put the pan in a COLD oven and turn on to 425. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook about 15 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.
  3. Flip slices and continue to roast until bottoms are brown, about 15 minutes.

Notes

This recipe is super easy to scale – you don’t even really need to measure, just eyeball it and make sure your potatoes are lightly coated with oil and get a good hit of salt! The slices around the edges of the pan get more brown, so I put smaller, “end” pieces in the middle so they don’t get too well-done. Also, Cook’s Illustrated recommends longer roasting times once the foil is off, but in my oven they are very brown with the times listed above.
