Make crispy roasted sweet potato cubes with a simple brown sugar glaze. This recipe balances savory seasoning with a touch of sweetness, making it a perfect side dish for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  4. Roast for 20 minutes.
  5. While the potatoes roast, whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the brown sugar glaze evenly over the potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes on the sheet to coat them lightly.
  7. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and crispy on the edges. Watch carefully during the last few minutes to prevent the sugar from burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a holiday side dish or part of your meal prep.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure your sweet potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • If you prefer a more savory profile, omit the brown sugar and cinnamon and increase the garlic powder and add a pinch of chili powder.
  • This recipe works well for oven baked root vegetables when mixed with carrots or parsnips.
