Cube them up and toss them with olive oil for the best crispy roasted sweet potatoes you've ever had! Slightly sweet from the potato itself with a hint of spice from the red pepper flakes, this is the perfect potato side dish for grilled chicken, savory pork, or even grilled fish.

Ingredients
4medium sweet potatoespeeled and cut into 1-inch chunks as evenly as possible
3tablespoonsof olive oil
1 1/2teaspoonsdried thyme
2clovesof garlicminced
1/4teaspooncrushed red pepper flakes
1teaspoonkosher salt
sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. All the ingredients to a large zip-top bag, shake until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast until tender and starting to brown, approximately a total of 45 minutes. Be sure to toss with a spatula halfway through the cooking time so they don't burn--the sweetness of the potatoes can cause that to happen quickly.
NOTE: If you adjust the recipe quantities, just be sure to not overcrowd your baking sheet or the potatoes will steam and not crisp up.
