Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2-3 medium sweet potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
Optional Toppings:
- fresh parsley, chopped
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Add the chopped sweet potatoes to a large half sheet baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Spread the sweet potatoes evenly in a single layer and roast for 35-40 minutes until tender and golden brown, giving it a quick stir halfway through baking. For extra crispy sweet potatoes, broil on high for 2-3 minutes at the end.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese on top (optional).
Notes
Make it more herby: For a more herby flavor, toss in 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves before roasting.
How to store: Place leftover roasted sweet potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
How to reheat: Reheat in a 400F preheated oven for about 10 minutes until warm and crisp, or in the air fryer at 400F for 5-10 minutes until warm.
How to freeze: Spread leftover sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours, then transfer into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You can reheat these veggies straight out of the freezer (without thawing) by sautéing until heated through and crisped up. You can also reheat directly from frozen in a 425℉ preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or in the air fryer at 400F for 10 minutes.
