Roasted Sweet Potatoes
These roasted sweet potatoes are crispy outside, soft inside, with a seasoning blend that lets their natural sweetness shine. Irresistibly good!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large, I like Red Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes best, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (use less if using table salt)
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (use less if using table salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder (see note 1)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Plain Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and cube sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to your largest sheet pan and add the melted coconut oil, salt, and brown sugar on top. Toss to coat all the sweet potatoes, then spread out in an even layer. You don’t want any potatoes overlapping or you’ll end up with steamed potatoes instead of roasted potatoes. Flip every 10–15 minutes, cooking for a total of 27–35 minutes. (I flip every 10 minutes and bake around 30 minutes.)
