Steps

  1. Set oven to convection and preheat to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cut sweet potato to make cubes about 1.5 cm (or half an inch) in size. You can go bigger, but the cooking time will be a bit longer.
  3. Place cubed sweet potato in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with enough olive oil for a thin coat, or more, to taste. Toss in enough fajita seasoning to coat lightly, or more, to taste, followed by a couple of pinches of kosher salt. Toss all together untill well combined.
  4. Place sweet potato on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Be sure the pieces do not overlap.
  5. Place pan in preheated oven and roast for about 15 minutes. Remove and turn pieces, tossing lightly with a little more oil and salt if needed. Ensure the pieces remain in a single layer, then put the pan back into the oven. Continue roasting until the colour has deepened and the pieces are easily pierced with a fork, about another 15 minutes. (About 30 minutes total.)
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes on the pan. Place in a serving bowl and taste. If needed, toss some granulated garlic on while the potatoes are still hot to enhance the flavour.
