Instructions

While the chicken marinates, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and a fork slides in without resistance.
