- 3 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- Vegetable oil
- Salt

- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-1/4-inch chunks and place in a large bowl.
- Add the brown sugar, a few tablespoons of oil (just enough to coat), a few large pinches of salt, and a couple of pinches of pepper and mix until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet in an even layer. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are lightly browned and roasted, about 30 minutes.
