I can’t believe I’ve never shared this with you guys before.  This is my go-to method for cooking sweet potatoes, simply because it’s fast, it’s easy, and oh. em. gee., it’s delicious.

By simply cutting your sweet potatoes into hearty bite sized chunks and roasting at a high temperature, you end up these little nuggets of crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet potato deliciousness.

These are great served as a side dish to just about any meal and they also make a great partner for eggs.
