Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large pinch of kosher salt
- A few grinds of black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges. Usually six to eight wedges per sweet potato makes for a good fry depending on the size of the potato.
- Spread out on a large sheet pan, drizzle with the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss to combine.
- Roast for about 12 minutes on the middle rack, then use a spatula to toss them around a little bit.
- Continue to roast for another 10 to 12 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are deeply browned on the edges and tender when pierced with a fork or knife.
