Simple Roasted Sweet Potatoes are simply the best! This classic recipe only has 4 ingredients.
Hello! Hello!
Aren't sweet potatoes just the best? They are so classically FALL... but I honestly love them year-round. I'm not going to lie... spuds make me happy! I can't be the only one, right?
Today I'm sharing a recipe that I make ALL THE TIME. It's 4 Ingredient Simple Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
Taaaa-daaaahhhhh!!!
I just want to grab that one off the top!
The hardest part about this recipe is cutting the sweet potatoes raw. Invest in a sharp knife and good cutting board. <--- I swear by these! (Amazon Affiliate link!)
I used to think I was too clumsy and not a good enough cook to use the "big kid knives" but now I've learned that it is safer to properly use the right tools than dull knives.
After cutting the simple roasted sweet potatoes you toss them in a touch of olive oil. Coconut oil will also do the trick, but I really enjoy the olive oil flavoring here.
I like to toss this simple version with a touch of thyme. It works well and doesn't overpower the spud. Feel free to change out the herb to your favorite one though.
Serve these little bites of simple roasted sweet potatoes goodness as a side dish, as a breakfast potato or even part of a Buddha bowl with this easy kale recipe, avocado and a hearty grain like quinoa or wheat berries.
Who's hungry now??? I AMMMM!!!!
Any way you serve it this a great little recipe to keep in your arsenal of foodie powers! It's one you will come back to again and again.
Enjoy!

Oh my yuummm. This looks fantastic. I always just bake them in the oven, but this truly would make a simple side dish. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

One of our favorites! I make HUGE batches of roasted sweet potatoes and my oldest and I are always sneaking them out of the fridge and they never last!
JulieWunder says
How much fun! Seems like your girls are such good eaters!
Kimmythevegan says
I LOVE sweet potatoes. They are just plain delicious and we totally eat them up all of the time. When we make them as a side, we typically have them as "fries", baked in the oven, but this sounds like a really great way to enjoy them as a side. I really love your idea of having this at breakfast too. Yum!
Thanks so much for sharing this delectable dish at Healthy Vegan Fridays - I'm pinning & sharing. Have a great day Julie!
