Recipe Yield: 4-5 servings
INGREDIENTS
3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 ½ lb), diced into ½-inch cubes
3 tbsp olive oil
¾ tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss & Coat: In a mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt until fully coated. Make sure every piece is evenly seasoned!
3. Roast to Perfection: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer, making sure they’re not overcrowded. Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and caramelized.
4. Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Perfect as a side dish, salad topping, or meal prep essential!
HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE
- Smaller Cubes = Crispier Texture – Cutting the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes gives the best caramelization.
- Space Them Out for Even Roasting – Overcrowding the baking sheet traps steam, so spread the potatoes in a single layer for the crispiest results.
- Let Them Rest Before Serving – Cooling for a few minutes allows the edges to crisp up even more!
