Notes
- Ensure your oven is thoroughly preheated before placing your pan inside. The high oven temperature is essential for achieving a delightful crispiness on the exterior of your sweet potatoes.
- Properly space out the sweet potato cubes on your baking sheet. If they are too close together, the hot air won't circulate evenly around them, potentially leading to uneven crispiness.
- Try to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized small cubes for even cooking in the oven.
- To Store. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezing. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers as the potatoes will lose their texture after thawing. It is best to freeze raw potato cubes.
- To Reheat. Reheat in the oven or air fryer, no need to add more oil
