Crispy Roasted White Sweet Potatoes
Enjoy the nutty flavor and caramelized goodness of white potatoes with this simple roasting recipe. Perfect as a side dish or breakfast hash.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 medium-large white sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, chopped, for garnish
- Flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel the white potatoes and cut them into even-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces.
- Season: In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve hot as a side dish or incorporate into a breakfast hash.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the sweet potato cubes are cut to uniform sizes to promote even cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet to retain crispiness.
