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.

From sweet potato nachos to sweet potato tacos and healthy chocolate milkshakes, sweet potatoes are so versatile and so delicious.
How to make roasted sweet potatoes
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.
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.
These baked sweet potato cubes are my go to recipe. They make a great sweet potato side dish, or an addition to most any meal.
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!
This recipe uses 2 large sweet potatoes.
These would be a great roasted veggie for dinner along with roasted broccoli with parmesan, garlic butter roasted mushrooms or roasted carrots.

I wouldn't recommend it. The texture would not be the same when reheated.

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!! -Amy

He is not, but it's fun to hear of more Shulls! I agree it is an uncommon name. I hope you enjoy the sweet potatoes! Funny enough my husband has a sister named Amy, so her maiden name was Amy Shull!
