About roasted sweet potatoes

Sweet potato chunks tossed with olive oil, cinnamon, and brown sugar, roasted until the edges caramelize and the inside turns soft.

What cooks argue about

Cooks argue over adding the sugar before roasting, which caramelizes into a sticky glaze but can burn, or after, which avoids scorching but blends in less.
