These Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes bring life to the idea that "less is more". Although they are roasted only in olive oil, dried oregano, a little salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper they pack a major tasty punch! They're also a lovely side dish when left whole and air fried in some olive oil and a bit of black pepper. You never need much to season sweet potatoes, which is I love making whole baked sweet potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes in my crockpot too for large dinners or holidays - they require minimal prep and minimal cooking skills!

Simple to make, simple to clean up. Roasted sweet potatoes go well with just about any vegetable and meat, so turning them into a complete dinner is a breeze. We love with Mexican shredded beef, pecan crusted chicken, air fried ribeye steak and lemon lime chicken.

  • Chop the 3 medium sweet potatoes into small cubes, about 1-2 inches in size. In a large mixing bowl, toss with 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 3 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Place potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from oven and serve warm, with your favorite vegetable and meat or fish.

Air Fryer Method

  • Chop the 3 medium sweet potatoes into small cubes, about 1-2 inches in size. In a large mixing bowl, toss with 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 3 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Place potatoes into the air fryer basket or on the tray. They do not need to be in a single layer.
  • Air fry at 400℉ for 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Remove from oven and serve warm, with your favorite vegetable and meat or fish.

Recipe Tips

  • Cut potatoes as close to the same size as possible to ensure even cooking.

  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil and seasonings by hand to help coat them evenly.

Notes

TIP 1: Depending on how big your potatoes are, you may want to start with less oil, toss, and add more if needed. The potatoes should be lightly coated, not drenched, in oil.
Tip 2: Tossing with your hands will help to evenly coat the sweet potatoes with oil and herbs.
