Directions:
1. I usually start by washing my potatoes (just to be safe) under cold water; then you can peel them.
2. Slice your potatoes into 3/4"-thick circular sections. Try to keep them as uniform as possible so that they bake evenly.

3. Put your potato slices in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil (you only need enough to very lightly coat all of the slices).
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking and mix a little to distribute evenly (I usually find its easier to just use your hands for this part...)

5. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet - you may want to lay down a sheet of aluminum foil to make clean up super easy. You shouldn't need to spray the pan at all - the olive oil drizzle should be enough to keep everything from sticking.
6. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F (you can lower it to 375 if you're trying to bake meat at the same time and don't want it to dry out as easily - you may just need to adjust your baking time).
Bake for 20 minutes and then use tongs or a spatula to flip them all and bake for 20 minutes on the other side. They should begin to brown a little - it's them caramelizing a little. Yum!
I can't lie, sweet potatoes are one of my favorite sides and this is one of my favorite ways to prepare them - I hope you enjoy!
