Simple Roasted Sweet Potatoes
These roasted sweet potatoes are a perfect side dish because they are naturally sweet and tender.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a perfectly roasted sweet potato. I love how the edges get a little crispy while the inside stays soft and creamy, making it a favorite side dish for my family dinners all through the fall and winter.
You can keep this recipe very simple with just a bit of oil and salt. If you feel like changing things up, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweet treat or some smoked paprika if you want a savory kick.
🧺 Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- 4
Toss everything together with your hands or a spoon until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer so they have enough room to crisp up.

💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in a pan with a little butter to get them crispy again. These also taste great tossed into a salad the next day for a nice lunch.
