Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweetpotatoes  cut into ½-inch cubes
  • tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper 
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Prep the sweetpotatoes: Wash and cube your sweetpotatoes into bite-sized pieces. I like to keep the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
  • Season: Add the sweetpotatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. Toss until all pieces are well coated. 
  • Sear: Heat a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned sweetpotatoes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to develop a golden crust. 
  • Lower the heat: Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and continue cooking for about 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the sweetpotatoes are fork-tender and crispy on the edges.
