Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pat them dry.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.

Place the sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potatoes, coating the skin well.

In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon.

Rub the spice mixture all over the sweet potatoes, including the skin side.

Place the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven uncovered for about 35-45 minutes, or until fork tender.

Check for doneness; mine took about 40 minutes.

Add a touch of butter on top of the sweet potatoes if desired.

For added sweetness, sprinkle brown sugar or honey on top before serving.
