Open in Pepper →Sweet Potatoes Taste Best Straight From The Oven
A sweet potato does most of the work itself. Cut it up, toss it with oil and salt, and the hot oven turns the edges dark and caramelized while the middle goes soft and creamy.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on nights when the main dish is already handled and the oven is free — pork chops, a roast chicken, or a holiday table that needs one more pan of something good.
Every recipe here is sweet potatoes in the oven, plain or dressed up: Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta, Spiced Rounds with Lime & Crunch, Maple Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Brussels Sprouts, Asian style roasted sweet potatoes, and Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Chickpeas.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cut the pieces evenly
Aim for 1-inch cubes or 1/2-inch rounds so everything finishes at the same time. Uneven pieces mean burnt edges next to raw centers.
- 2
Give them room
Spread the potatoes in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowded pans steam instead of roast, so use two sheet pans if you need to.
- 3
Roast hot
400 to 425°F gets the sugars browning in about 25 to 30 minutes. Flip once halfway through for color on both sides.
- 4
Add sweet glazes late
Honey, maple, or brown sugar burns fast, so brush it on during the last 5 to 10 minutes. Cheese and nuts go on after the pan comes out.
