• 1 tsp salt, divided

• 1 tsp black pepper, divided

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp granulated garlic

• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

Then drizzle half of the olive oil and sprinkle half of the salt, pepper, and all of the oregano and garlic. Mix well with your hands and cook for 25-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
