Roasted Sweet Potatoes

This Paula Deen recipe for roasting sweet potatoes is a little different because it adds a little sweet and a little spice together. The presentation of these roasted potatoes and the taste are both wonderful.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 6  medium sweet potatoes
• 1  cup olive oil
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons salt
• 1  tablespoon ground black pepper
• 2  teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon  ground red pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Wash potatoes and slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch wedges. (I peeled my sweet potatoes because I don't like having to deal with the skins when eating. They roasted just fine without the skin.).
3. In a large bowl combine olive oil, salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and red pepper. Add potatoes, tossing gently to coat.
4. Place potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until tender on the inside and golden on the outside.
