Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 large Sweet Potatoes
• 2 teaspoons Extra-virgin Olive Oil (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt (optional, do not use if you are on a low sodium diet)

Special Equipment:

No special equipment is required.

 

Preparation Method:

Preheat the oven to 425 ° F (~220 ° C).

Wash and scrub the potatoes under cold running water. Pat dry with a paper towel and prick several times with a fork. Place the potatoes in a microwave, and microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let cool for 5 minutes. The potatoes should give slightly when done, but should not be fully cooked.

After the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, slice the potatoes with the skin on into 1/2 inch cubes and place into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil if using, and sprinkle with the spices. Toss the bowl or stir with a spoon. Place the potatoes on a parchment or foil lined sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are tender and beginning to brown.
