Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the sweet potatoes by scrubbing them clean and cutting them into chunks or slices, depending on your preference.
Arrange the sweet potato pieces in a shallow casserole dish, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Sprinkle the curry powder and salt evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are coated evenly with the spices and oil.
Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, turning them once or twice during cooking to ensure they brown evenly on all sides.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven when they are tender and evenly browned.
Serve immediately, either as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
