Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato (roughly 500g / 1lb) chopped into 1cm/½inch cubes (ish!) No need to peel - you can leave the skins on.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons baharat spice mix (I used Tesco Baharat Seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Place the sweet potato cubes on a large non-stick baking tray. Drizzle over the olive oil, then sprinkle over the baharat spice mix and salt.
- Use your hands to turn the sweet potato cubes so they are all evenly coated in oil, spices and salt.
- Rearrange the sweet potato, ensuring the cubes are well spread out (use 2 baking sheets if necessary) and in a single layer.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until crisp and just starting to darken on the outside and completely soft in the middle.

Notes
- It’s really important you ensure the sweet potato cubes are spread out well over the baking sheet - if they are touching each other too much or piled on top of each other they will steam rather than roast…which won’t be half so nice!
- I have found that if you use a good non-stick baking sheet, the cubes don’t need turning throughout their cooking time, but if you are at all worried do give them a check after 10 minutes and turn them if you think necessary.
- Suitable for freezing.
