Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, combine sliced sweet potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
