If you’re looking for a simple, quick and tasty side dish, look no further. This past Canadian Thanksgiving I teased these oven roasted sweet potatoes on Instagram and there were many requests for the recipe. So here we go.
You’ll Need…
3 1/2 – 4 lbs sweet potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon roasted garlic + herb blend
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon paprika (smoked/sweet)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Notes! May I suggest you follow along with the video below as much more about the recipe is discussed there. If making this recipe gluten free, please go through the full list of ingredients to ensure they meet with your specific gluten free dietary restrictions.
You have the option to peel the sweet potatoes, however I find that I get better results if I give them a good scrub, then cut them into equal size pieces so they roast evenly. Basically skin on.
In a bowl whisk everything (except the potatoes) until combined.
Place the clean/cut potatoes in a baking dish, then pour the liquid over the sweet potatoes and mix well to coat. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
Place on the middle rack uncovered. After 15 minutes, remove and stir/toss and continue roasting.
Roast for another 15-20 minutes (depending on how large you cut the pieces) and get ready to serve. You may finish with a tiny bit of finishing salt or as mentioned in the video, some chopped parsley, rosemary and/or thyme.
In the video I shared a tip on how to check to see if the sweet potatoes are fully roasted (tender).
