Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I am a girl that loves sweet potatoes.  I didn’t discover this until just a few years ago. It was quite by accident, I was on a kick for eating healthy and knew that they were good for you so I decided to give them a try and I was hooked. Usually I like to eat them baked with nothing on them.

I have seen recipes for baking sweet potato fries and chips; they looked so good that I had to try this. But each time I was disappointed.Each time the fries and the chips both came out either limp or black; I could not get the crispy potato that I was looking for. So finally I just gave up and decided to roast them.

I went with sweet and salty, because I thought it sound just right for a sweet potato. So I went with cinnamon, sugar, and tossed in a little sea salt. They turned out delicious and I loved the sweet and salty flavors on the potato. Who needs fries or chips anyway?
