TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST OVEN ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
- Cut your sweet potatoes into pieces that are approximately the same size, for even cooking.
- Try cutting your sweet potatoes into different shapes. I’ll often cut them into matchstick shapes to make sweet potato fries that are easy for my kids to pick up. I usually don’t even peel them before cutting.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking pan. You want your sweet potatoes in a single layer with a little room in between so the air can circulate. This leads to the crispy edges that are so tasty.
- Watch the sweet potatoes closely near the end of the baking time as they can go from perfectly caramelized to burnt quickly.
- Try seasoning your sweet potatoes with different spices before roasting. I like to add some chili powder to this recipe for spicy-sweet roasted sweet potatoes. Yum!
- Pure maple syrup can be substituted for the honey to make maple roasted sweet potatoes. Using maple syrup instead of honey makes this recipe vegan.
- Garlic powder, paprika and chili powder make a savory alternative seasoning for roasted sweet potatoes.
- These are my favorite baking sheets for roasting vegetables.
DO YOU HAVE TO PEEL SWEET POTATOES BEFORE ROASTING?
You do not have to peel the skin of the sweet potatoes because the skin is edible. However, my family prefers the texture and flavor of peeled roasted sweet potatoes so I peel the skins. Leave the skins on when baked whole sweet potatoes.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO ROAST SWEET POTATOES IN THE OVEN?
If cut into 1-inch cubes for this recipe, the sweet potatoes take 25-30 minutes to cook at 425 degrees.
