- 2 tablespoons (30ml) avocado oil
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prep sweet potatoes. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1 inch cubes.
- Add oil and seasonings. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
