Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, seasoned roasted sweet potatoes are easy to make in the oven on a sheet pan. Simply cube, season, and bake! This delicious vegan side dish pairs well with just about everything.
If you usually bake sweet potatoes whole or turn them into mashed sweet potatoes, you'll love how much quicker it is to roast them peeled and cut into small pieces. I like them seasoned with garlic powder and paprika, but the possibilities are endless with this simple cooking method.

These are so yummy. Great to be able to make them so quickly and be able to eat them with my fingers. Great snack food as well as a Thanksgiving side dish.

Nutritional information is an estimation.
Meg says
Worked really well as a side dish! I did them in the air fryer, with a sprinkling of chat masala. Thanks, Amy.
Amy Katz says
That sounds great, Meg! Thanks for the delicious idea.
Janice Vranicar says
I wasn’t sure how to rate this. They were delicious, but they were not crispy at all! Crispy is the first word. Makes me very sad.
Amy Katz says
I'm sorry to hear that, Janice. It sounds like you either didn't leave them in the oven long enough, or they were too crowded on the baking sheet.
Bonnie Russell-Bushaw says
These are so yummy. Great to be able to make them so quickly and be able to eat them with my fingers. Great snack food as well as a Thanksgiving side dish. I made them as stated in the recipe but want to try out the vanilla masala curry rub next time.
Amy Katz says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them, Bonnie!
CF says
I just have a question....can the sweet potatoes be cut lengthwise to make sweet potato fries? This sounds so delicious!
Amy Katz says
This is a fantastic idea! I haven't tried it myself, but please report back if you do. I imagine you'll want to keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
