Categories     Side dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Optional: 1 teaspoon chili powder or freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  • Either scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pat dry, or peel them (I generally peel mine). To slice, use a sharp chef's knife to cut them into 1-inch thick rounds. Then, cut up each round to make 1-inch cubes. The "cubes" won't be perfectly even, but that's ok.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil on top. If using, sprinkle the chili pepper or several twists of freshly ground black pepper on top, followed by the salt. Toss until the sweet potatoes are all evenly coated in oil, and arrange them in a single layer.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelizing at the edges. Serve while warm. Leftover sweet potatoes will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days. Gently reheat in the microwave or oven if desired.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup honey
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup honey, and olive oil together in a bowl until potatoes are completely coated. Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet and drizzle any remaining olive oil mixture over the top.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Scrub them thoroughly before roasting to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized chunks to ensure even cooking. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If they are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
  • Toss the sweet potato chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Spread the sweet potato chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent them from roasting evenly.
  • Roast the sweet potato chunks at a high temperature (425°F) for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the roasted sweet potato chunks immediately as a side dish or snack, or use them in other recipes such as soups, salads, or burritos.

Conclusion:

Oven-roasted sweet potato chunks are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can achieve perfectly roasted sweet potato chunks that are tender and slightly browned on the outside. Serve them immediately or use them in other recipes for a tasty and nutritious addition to your meal.
