Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large organic sweet potatoes, 1 ½ – 2 pounds
  • olive oil or coconut oil
  • Celtic sea salt & fresh pepper
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the sweet potatoes, you want the pan to be very hot.
  3. Prepare the potatoes: If they are organic you can wash them thoroughly and leave the skin on. If not peel them.
  4. Cut the sweet potatoes into chunks or fries.
  5. In a large bowl toss sweet potatoes with just enough oil to coat.

  7. Take the pan out of the oven.
  8. Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on the hot baking sheet, being sure not to overcrowd.
