Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Either scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pat dry, or peel them (I generally peel mine). To slice, use a sharp chef’s knife to cut them into 1-inch thick rounds. Then, cut up each round to make 1-inch cubes. The 'cubes' won’t be perfectly even, but that’s ok.

Mix in bowl olive oil, cinnamon, salt. Toss until the sweet potatoes are all evenly coated.

Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelizing at the edges. Serve while warm.
