Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Directions for Potatoes -
Preheat oven to 425 degrees

-Wash sweet potatoes (keep the skin on as the skin has lots of added protein, fiber, potassium, and vitamin c).
- Cut sweet potatoes into cubes and toss in a little coconut oil and a pinch of salt and pepper (about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil per pound of potatoes)
-Place potatoes on a baking sheet and cook for 25-35 minutes.
-Once they have cooled, place them in an airtight (Ziplock bag or Tupperware) and store in freeze for up to 12 months.
-For the scramble take 1/2 cup of sweet potatoes out of the freezer and allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge.
