Dude, Sweet Potatoes.

The beloved sweet potato is definitely one of my GO-TO foods.
Why you might ask?
 Because you can make SO many dishes with them, that's why. 
Sweet potatoes are high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
They are also a source of fibre. 
CALM down, I know it's exciting but I haven't even finished yet. 
I make these so often that I thought I should share this EASY recipe with you.
Did I mention it's easy? 
I get it, life is busy.
That's why I am going to share my favsie recipe with you, to make your life easier!
What can I say? I yam always looking out for you (see what I did there).
This is what a sweet potato looks like.

Roasted Sweet Potato Bits


You'll Need

1 sweet potato peeled (any size really)
salt or salt seasoning (optional)
dried parsley 
paprika
olive oil or vegetable oil
garlic powder
cooking spray
1 baking sheet
tin foil
cutting board and large knife


What you'll do

 You can start by preheating your oven to 350 F. Then you're going to want to peel the sweet potato and give it a little rinse. Grab your cutting board/knife and cut the sweet potato into fairly thin pieces (see picture below). The nice thing about this is that you can't really mess it up. 
Basically try to cut the sweet potato into uniform bits. 
Line your baking sheet with tinfoil (I do this to make my baking sheet last longer), add a little cooking spray to the foil and spread the sweet potato on the sheet evenly. 
Here's the thing. I didn't give you measurements for the ingredients because in truth, I actually don't measure when I make this recipe. I drizzle a little olive oil (or vegetable oil)  over the potatoes (about 1 tbsp if you need an estimate) and I use my hands to toss them until all the potato bits have a little oil on them.
Now you can sprinkle a little salt or salt seasoning (if you choose to), dried parsley, garlic powder and paprika over the potatoes.
Bake those delicious morsels for about 25-30 minutes. 
Give them a flip or two after about 15 minutes for best results.

These make for a great side dish!
