Easy roasted sweet potatoes, made crispy in the oven with oil and seasonings.
Roasted sweet potatoes are easy to make, nourishing, and perfect as a side dish with so many meals. We love them with some baked BBQ tofu or alongside a holiday meal with vegan wellington and green bean casserole.
You could even enjoy them on a salad for some added nutrition.
The oven-baked method results in delicious sweet potatoes chunks that are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Plus, they are naturally gluten-free and vegan.
Ingredients
You only need 4 basic ingredients to make these oven-roasted sweet potatoes!
- Sweet potatoes: (Of course!) Peeled and cubed into about ½-inch to 1-inch cubes.
- Olive oil: You can use any cooking oil.
- Salt & black pepper: See the section on seasoning for more ideas!
How to Roast Sweet Potatoes
You can find the full detailed, printable recipe in the recipe card below.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
- Toss in a bowl with olive oil and seasonings.
- Spread out evenly onto a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes or so, until golden brown.
Seasoning Ideas
Although the classic seasoning for this recipe is simply salt and pepper, there are so many ways you can add additional flavor to your roasted sweet potatoes! Here are some delicious ideas. (The taco-seasoned sweet potatoes are perfect in a Southwest-style salad!)
House Favorite:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Taco:
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Cinnamon Brown Sugar:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Storing & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To reheat them, bake on a sheet pan in the oven for about 10 minutes at 400°F, or until they are heated through. You can also microwave them (but note they won’t get crispy again this way.)
Oil-Free Version
To make oil-free roasted sweet potatoes, simply omit the oil from the ingredients. Make sure to line the baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the potatoes don’t stick to the pan. Otherwise, follow the recipe as written.
