What it is
These are pieces of sweet potato that have been washed, peeled, and cut into bite-sized chunks. They are ready to be used in various dishes. Sweet potatoes are root vegetables known for their vibrant orange flesh and naturally sweet flavor.

To cook, simply spread the sweet potato chunks on a baking sheet and toss with a little oil and your preferred seasonings. Roast in a preheated oven until tender and slightly caramelized. They can also be boiled until soft and then mashed or pureed. For added flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme during the roasting process. They are also a good addition to slow cooker meals, absorbing the flavors of broths and spices.
