Many of you asked how I make the roasted sweet potatoes that were in the Refried Bean reel. Here ya go!

Perfect Roasted Sweet Potatoes
• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2-3 tbsp neutral oil
• 1/2 tsp Kosher salt

Optional spices: Sometimes I add 1 tsp ground cumin and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. In this reel, I did not.

Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 400° F. Cut sweet potatoes into sticks about 3 inch x 1/2 inch long. Coat sweet potatoes with oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt (and spices, if using). Bake in oven until golden brown, about 35 min.
