We eat sweet potatoes (and yeah, I know they're yams) at least twice a week. This is truly the only way I ever make them. They make a great side dish for any meal: quesadillas, baked fish, steak or chicken salads, etc. Scott and I will finish off the entire pan. I've been known to make a meal out of just these potatoes. They are that good!
These are the spices I use. Regular paprika is fine too, and I always top it with a sprinkle of garlic salt. I think that garlic salt and sweet potatoes is the perfect combination. A twist of sea salt and a squirt of lime is tasty too!
Sprinkle on a teaspoon of each…be generous! Drizzle on some olive oil. About 3 tablespoons. Toss it all together.
Bake at 475 degrees for about 40 minutes. Halfway through, take the pan out and stir the potatoes around. You want them slightly browned and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Leftovers heat up really well, but I doubt you'll have any!
