crispy roasted sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet

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.

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.
