Sweet potatoes would have to be one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen. Baked, smashed, mashed, stuffed or made into wedges, cakes and casseroles.

One of the easiest and most useful ways to cook sweet potatoes is to roast them.

These roasted sweet potatoes have a crispy caramelized exterior and a soft irresistible interior. The optional seasoning blend adds a perfect accent to these potatoes without masking their natural sweetness or flavor.

Toss these roasted sweet potatoes into this quinoa black bean salad, these sweet potato burrito bowls, or these vegetarian tacos for some delicious sweet potato recipes.

You probably won’t be surprised to hear that sweet potatoes are my favorite vegetable. With the plethora of sweet potato recipes on my site, it’s probably obvious we are eating them all.the.time. (Luckily the boys and the hubs are obsessed as well!)

Ingredients:
3 Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite size cubes
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp of brown sugar (more if you want it sweeter)
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground ginger
Sea salt, to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a small baking dish with cooking spray. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite size cubes and place in the baking dish. Melt butter in the microwave and pour over the potatoes along with the olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Add more sugar or cinnamon if desired. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake in the oven for 60 minutes. Stir the sweet potatoes once or twice during roasting. Enjoy.
