Description
These Roasted Cinnamon Garlic Sweet Potatoes are savory, sweet, and just a little bit spicy. Diced sweet potatoes are tossed in garlic-infused olive oil then seasoned with cinnamon, Kosher salt, black pepper, and an optional pinch of cayenne (if you like a little heat), then roasted until tender and lightly caramelized. This tasty side dish takes just minutes of prep work and finishes in the oven for a totally easy hands-off dish.
