Coconut Oil Roasted Sweet Potatoes


Coconut Oil Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Use 2-3 sweet potatoes or as many as your family will eat. Peel the raw potatoes and cut them into irregular size chunks. Put the cut potatoes in a bowl. Take a chunk of coconut oil (about 1/4 cup) and microwave it until it liquifies. Toss the coconut oil with the potatoes and toss quickly as the oil will harden up quickly. At this point I even use my fingers to "smoosh" all the oil and hardened bits of oil onto the potatoes. Put the chunks on a cookie sheet and roast at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and serve. I use a special Hawaiian black salt that I buy at Whole Foods because it's super yummy and looks so cool on the orange potatoes. My kids love these served with a small dish of maple syrup for dipping.
