Learn how to make the best roasted sweet potatoes with crispy edges and tender centers. This easy recipe uses simple seasonings like garlic and rosemary, making it a perfect side dish for any weeknight dinner or holiday meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Toss well until every piece is lightly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled potatoes. Toss again until the spices are evenly distributed.
  6. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crispiness.
  7. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time.
  8. Continue roasting until the edges are caramelized and crispy, and the centers are fork-tender.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a healthy vegetable side.

Notes

  • For extra crispy roasted sweet potatoes, ensure the potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding causes steaming instead of roasting.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute the rosemary with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegan.
