- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- spray oil (for coating the sheet pan)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.

- Use a cooking spray or lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking and help caramelization.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to your taste preference for spiciness.

- Stirring halfway through baking helps achieve even browning and prevents burning.
