  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Peeler
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. This step is crucial as it ensures that the sweet potatoes roast evenly and develop that nice caramelized flavor.
  2. 2. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, agave nectar, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss them well. You want to ensure that every piece is nicely coated with the mixture.
  3. 3. Add the finely chopped rosemary to the bowl and give it another toss. The rosemary not only adds flavor but also a beautiful aroma that fills your kitchen.
  4. 4. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spread the coated sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Make sure they have plenty of space to roast properly.
  5. 5. Bake them in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Stir the sweet potatoes every 15 minutes to promote even cooking. You’ll know they’re done when they’re soft and golden brown around the edges.
  6. 6. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Roasted Sweet Potatoes warm!
