Our Roasted Sweet Potatoes
When I was a child, we only ate sweet potatoes around thanksgiving. I always thought the only way to enjoy one was mashed with marshmallows on top, but I am happy to say I was wrong. Now sweet potatoes are always around in our kitchen. Minda and I love them.
One of our favorite ways to enjoy sweet potatoes is to simply cut them and roast them. I have found that everyone in the family thinks I like to go overboard with seasonings from time to time so I decided to try and go simple with our Roasted Sweet Potatoes. Taking this into account I have made an amazing side dish with 4 ingredients. Just sweet potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper make up our Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Sweet Potatoes – Our take on sweet potatoes might be simple but that’s how the family likes them. Sometimes I will add carrots, onion, and celery when roasting for a melody of roasted veggies.
Dry Seasonings – Salt and pepper are a staple when making our Roasted Sweet Potatoes. I like going crazy with seasonings. The best advice I can give is to season with your heart. I know it might be cliché but how would I have found out that I love thyme, chili powder, and cinnamon on sweet potatoes. Use what you love, and they will always turn out good.
Oil – Olive Oil is perfect for roasting. It adds amazing flavor to your Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
