How To Roast Sweet Potatoes In The Oven

To roast sweet potatoes in the oven, first preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Next, wash, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-size cubes. Toss the potatoes with remaining ingredients, except the nuts and parsley. Bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the flesh is tender and the outside is lightly golden on the edges.

Right before serving, garnish the potatoes with the nuts and fresh parsley.

This sounds fantastic, Amee! My family isn't crazy about sweet, sweet potato recipes, so they would love this savory recipe!:)

  Cutting up sweet potatoes before they are roasted is a challenge. I nearly chopped off a finger because, when raw, they are very hard. Can they be partially roasted first?

    Hi Jody! You definitely need a good sharp knife when cutting raw sweet potatoes. I have personally tried this, but you can pop them into the microwave for 1-2 minutes (depending on the size of your tater) to soften them up a bit before slicing. I hope that helps!
