Super easy oven-roasted teriyaki-glazed sweet potatoes that hit the perfect balance between savory and sweet. Serve with other Asian-inspired ingredients to make a meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into small wedges or cubes (skin on is OK))
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce ((homemade or store-bought - see notes for suggestions))
  • 2 tsp sriracha or other chili sauce ((optional))
  • sliced green onions (for serving (I like both the white and green parts))
  • sesame seeds (for garnish (optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a glass baking dish lightly with oil.

  2. 2

    Toss the sweet potatoes with about 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, or enough to coat them fairly generously. If using, also add the sriracha. Transfer them to the baking dish.

  3. 3

    Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender but not overdone, about 40 minutes. Stir them a couple of times during baking.

  4. 4

    Top with green onions and serve hot.
