Prepare potatoes for roasting: Wash sweet potatoes and cut into small pieces, about ½ inch (1.25 cm) cubes. Pour onto oil on a large baking sheet and spread around to coat the sheet evenly. Add sweet potatoes to the sheet and drizzle with oil, then toss the potatoes around with a spatula to coat them in syrup and oil. Sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Roast sweet potatoes: Roast sweet potatoes on baking sheet for 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to evenly roast on all sides. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, or cool and store in the refrigerator for later use.
