How to make easy crispy one pan oven roasted roasted sweet potatoes recipe from scratch?
- Mix together the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, cinnamon, ginger, salt, pepper, paprika in a baking tray.
- Bake until crisp and you are done.
Tips and techniques
- Line baking tray with aluminum foil to make clean up easy.
- Adjust the amount of spices, based on your preference.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes.
- Add 1-2 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or brown sugar, prior to baking to give these potatoes a more caramelized flavor.
- For a savory flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Be sure to toss the potatoes halfway through baking because this allows even baking and caramelization. Furthermore, make sure potatoes are not overlapping to ensure even baking.
- For quick baking, cut small chunks that are about 1 inch in size.
- I highly recommend peeling potatoes for the best overall texture.
- Mix in 8-10 brussel sprouts (cut in half) to this recipe. Fresh work best.
- Mix in 1 cup of cubed beets to this recipe. Carrots are also another great choice.
Whole sweet potatoes vs. Cubes vs. Slices
Whole potatoes take the longest, followed by slices and then, cubes. Since cubes are small and only about 1 inch big, they roast the fastest and great, when you are short on time. Sweet potatoes fries and wedges are another option and work great as a snack, finger food or appetizer at game day parties and tailgating. Fries are thinner than wedges and thus, cook the fastest.
Recipe FAQs
It takes about 20 -25 minutes. They are ready when potatoes are crisp on the outside with slight charring.
I always peel because I don't like the rough texture. However, it is your choice because the peel is edible.

These were fantastic. I made them 2 nights ago and loved how easy it was and how delicious. I used cayenne in place of the crushed red pepper flakes to kick up the spice a little more. I also mixed all the ingredients in a gallon zipper bag and added the potato cubes to evenly coat everything. Then I just poured it all onto the baking pan, spread them out and baked. Thanks for the recipe. Dan
