Ingredients:

3 tbsp vegetable oil
40g
6 sweet potatos
780g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
1/6g
1/2 tsp dried oregano
0.90g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces for even roasting.
3. Mix Spices and Oil:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, salt, coriander leaves, fennel seeds, red pepper, and dried oregano.
- Stir the mixture well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the oil.
4. Toss Sweet Potatoes:
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the mixing bowl.
- Toss the sweet potatoes to coat them thoroughly with the spiced oil mixture.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there is space between the pieces to allow for even roasting.
6. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- They are done when they are tender and have a nice golden-brown exterior.
7. Serve:
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven.
- Transfer them to a serving dish and optionally sprinkle a little extra coriander leaves or other preferred fresh herbs for garnish.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve your roasted spiced sweet potatoes warm as a delicious side dish or enjoy them on their own!

Tips:

- For even roasting, cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces.

- Toss the potatoes well to ensure even coating of the oil and spices.

- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, which can cause steaming instead of roasting.

- Stir the potatoes halfway through the roasting time for even browning.

- Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting for a bright finishing touch.

This roasted spiced sweet potato recipe is easy to prepare and yields a deliciously spicy and aromatic result. The combination of fennel seeds, oregano, and red pepper creates a unique flavor profile that complements the natural sweetness of the potatoes. Enjoy this tasty dish as a side or even as a standalone meal!
