These easy roasted sweet potatoes are my go to sweet potato recipe. They are the perfect side dish for any meal!
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables, and I usually buy a few every week when I’m at the grocery store.
They are great for throwing in cauliflower rice burrito bowls with some fajita veggies and guacamole!
I also love making them up to have with my eggs at breakfast time, or to put inside of a breakfast burrito.
From sweet potato tacos to healthy chocolate milkshakes, sweet potatoes are so versatile and so delicious.

How to make roasted sweet potato cubes
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. High heat will help us get those crispy edges on the sweet potatoes!
Step 2: Peel your sweet potatoes and dice them into small cubes.
Step 3: Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until coated on all sides.
Step 4: Spread out the sweet potato cubes in an even layer on a baking sheet and put them in the oven.
How long to roast sweet potatoes
Step 5: Roast the sweet potato cubes until crispy, flipping every 10 minutes to avoid burning. It should take around 25-30 minutes total to roast sweet potatoes at 450 degrees.
How to prepare sweet potatoes
- Peel: peel the skin off of your sweet potatoes.
- Dice: dice the sweet potatoes into evenly sized small chunks.
These baked sweet potato cubes are my go to recipe. They are great for tossing in salads, on nachos, in bowls, enchiladas, tacos, you name it!
The spices are a starting point that are mild enough to go in any recipe.
If I’m making a mexican dish, I will add in some chili powder or cumin. For breakfast recipes, I might add in some onion powder or thyme.
There isn’t a meal of the day that I wouldn’t eat sweet potatoes!
These would be a great roasted veggie for dinner along with roasted broccoli with parmesan, garlic butter roasted mushrooms or roasted carrots.
How to store leftovers
- Storing: Store leftover sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: reheat leftover sweet potatoes at 350 degrees on a baking sheet until heated through. You can also use a microwave, but the texture is better in the oven.

Hi Joy, My maiden name is Shull. Is your husband by any chance related to the line of Shulls from Broadwater, Nebraska? Just curious! I never see the Shull name. Looking forward to trying your sweet potatoes tonight!!
