Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch in size, to ensure even cooking.

Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat them thoroughly with the agave spice mixture.

Step 5

Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced.

Step 6

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized around the edges.

Serve warm and enjoy your Agave Roasted Sweet Potatoes as a healthy and flavorful vegan side dish.
