Tips
✔️Be sure to cut your sweet potatoes so they are about the same size. This helps ensure they are cooked evenly.
✔️Place the sweet potato pieces evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer. Don’t crowd them too much or they won’t be able to get caramelized and crispy.
✔️High heat is important for the sweet potatoes to get nice crispy edges!
✔️Please note that baking time will vary depending on your oven and the size of your sweet potato cubes.
Variations
- Sweet potato skin is edible and has a lot of nutrients so you do not have to peel your sweet potatoes.
- Substitute purple sweet potatoes, or use a combination both. This looks especially impressive as part of your Thanksgiving spread!
- While it might sound unusual, cinnamon goes really well with both garlic and rosemary. Consider adding a little bit to your potatoes.
- For a little heat, add a bit of chili powder.
- Serve with a little goat cheese sprinkled on top instead of parmesan cheese.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
I love serving oven roasted sweet potatoes on my holiday table because they go so well with roasted turkey, glazed ham, roasted pork tenderloin, or even a sirloin roast or roast chicken.
Plus, they’re simple enough that they’re the perfect side dish for weeknight meals, too.
Take it up a notch and serve your sweet potatoes with a little bit of compound butter on the side. Garlic chive butter would be especially good on these roasted sweet potatoes!
Storage
To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days in the fridge. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Reheat: Individual portions can be reheated in the microwave.
Leftover sweet potatoes are great to use in salads, grain bowls, burrito bowls, mash them in with regular potatoes, or whip up a batch of sweet potato soup.
