Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut sweet potatoes in half, brush with extra virgin olive oil, and season with no salt seasoning and pink sea salt. I also like to drizzle a little EVOO over the roasting pan.

Place potatoes cut side down and roast in oven for 30-40 minutes depending on thickness and size of potatoes. Check for doneness. Once removed from the oven, flip potatoes over and they will be nice and caramelized and crispy around the edges. You can add an extra drizzle of olive oil for serving if you'd like.

Enjoy!
