Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Paleo)

By Kathy C.

Combination of Recipe I found on KEY INGREDIENT website & Recipe from Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippio "Sweet potatoes can be roasted and enjoyed simply with salt and black pepper, but to kick them up, use a few different spices. The result is a whole new taste experience!"

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 4 cups)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Peel the sweet potatoes, and chop them into 1-inch pieces.
Toss potatoes together with melted coconut oil in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Combine spices in small bowl. Add the spice blend to the sweet potatoes and toss again to spread the spices evenly.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until tender, 30-40 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
