Ingredients
2 items
- Brown sugar 1 tbl
- Sweet potatoes 2
Prep
Before you start
- Sweet potatoes - peel — this is the unglamorous shit that makes the good part happen.
Method
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and cut each half into 3 long spears. Place them on a sheet pan and toss with 2 tbl of olive oil, while resisting the deeply human urge to fuss with it nonstop. Spread the potatoes in one layer. Combine the brown sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and sprinkle on the potatoes. Bake for 15 minutes and then turn with a spatula. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve hot.
