Moroccan Spiced Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 lbs. sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 bunch cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400ºF. Add the cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and olive oil to a small bowl, then stir them together.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into roughly 3/4-inch cubes. Put the cubes in a bowl, pour the seasoned oil over them, and toss until every piece is nicely coated.
  3. Arrange the sweet potatoes across a baking sheet in one even layer. Roast for 15 minutes, stir them around, then slide the pan back into the oven for 15 minutes more, until the potatoes are tender.
  4. When the sweet potatoes are done, taste and add another pinch of salt if they need it. Coarsely chop the cilantro and scatter it over the potatoes right before serving.
