Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Time: about 30 minutes
Servings: 2-3

Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
2-4 Tbsp butter, olive oil, or walnut oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
1/4 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves, minced
Pinch cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes or fingers. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Place slices of butter (or pour the oil) over the potato cubes. Sprinkle on the seasonings. Stir the potatoes and seasonings together. I use my hands, but a spatula would work too. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes with a spatula. Bake another 5-10 minutes, until tender.
