Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp herbs de provence seasoning
- 1 tsp pepper
- .5 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C)
- Peel the skin off of your sweet potatoes. Slice the top and bottom ends off of the sweet potatoes, and slice your potatoes in half. Cut the potatoes vertically and horizontally until you create 1/2 inch cubes.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil, rosemary, herbs de provence, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and starting to brown around the edges. (I like mine a bit crispy, so I allowed them to cook for 45 minutes) Remove pan from oven and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to help them roast evenly and caramelize properly.
- For the best flavor, use fresh rosemary instead of dried rosemary if possible. Fresh herbs give the dish a more vibrant and aromatic finish.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Spreading the sweet potatoes into a single layer helps them roast instead of steam.
- If you prefer crispier edges, roast the sweet potatoes a few extra minutes or broil briefly at the end while watching carefully.
- Ground cinnamon can be added along with the nutmeg for an even warmer flavor profile during the fall and holiday season.
- These roasted sweet potatoes pair well with roasted chicken, turkey, pork chops, or holiday mains.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
- For extra richness, finish with a small drizzle of melted butter or hot honey before serving.
