I have already shared this recipe in other locations, but I thought I should put it in the right place!

2 or more sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
sea salt
fresh rosemary (2 or 3 sprigs, chopped)
cayenne pepper (to taste)
extra virgin olive oil (just enough to barely coat what you have, 1 or 2 tbsp)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and mix to coat. Sprinkle chopped rosemary, sea salt, and cayenne over the potatoes and mix again to coat. Taste one raw to see if you need more of anything.

Spread out on a cookie sheet or flat baking sheet with sides and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Then turn the heat up to 400 and bake about 10 minutes more, or to desired crispness. (they'll burn if you leave them at 400 degrees for too long)

Not sure of the exact nutrition info for this one, but I know sweet potatoes are good for you, and you can calculate what a couple of tbsp of olive oil is.

It has to be better for you than sweet potato casserole!!

    I actually make these a lot. It is one of the only ways I can stand sweet potatoes. To me, potatoes shouldn't be sweet, which is why I can't stand those sugary casseroles!

    I could literally eat all of these in one sitting. They are that good. :love:
