Ingredients:
- 4 sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
- Salt (optional) and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toss the sweet potato pieces with the olive oil, salt (optional) and pepper, and place in a baking dish.
- Roast for 10 minutes, stir, then remove from oven and toss the sweet potatoes with a spatula or tongs so that they will brown evenly. Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and roast until they are fork tender, about another 10 minutes.
