Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a big resealable plastic bag, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, brown sugar, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt until everything is nicely coated. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, spreading the potatoes out evenly. Pop the dish into the oven and bake, giving them a good stir every now and then to make sure they cook evenly. Keep going until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender, which should take about an hour. Enjoy!
