Roasted Sweet Potatoes

If you are trying to eat healthy, switching from white potatoes to sweet potatoes is an easy and delicious start. Their complex flavor makes them, in my mind, a richer and deeper tasting alternative than their boring cousin, the white potato.The sweetness of these potatoes is countered with the pungent sea salt and spicy black pepper. Although sweet potatoes are not specifically low-carb, they are low glycemic and extremely healthy.

2-3 medium sweet potatoes
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper

Heat oven to 400. Rinse sweet potatoes, then dice into 1/2 inch sized pieces. In a glass or ceramic baking dish, toss with olive oil and salt and place in hot oven. Cook 30-45 minutes, depending on your oven. After 20 minutes, remove from oven, add black pepper, stir and return for another 15 minutes or so.
