Tips:

  • For perfectly tender and caramelized sweet potatoes, choose sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the sweet potatoes enough space so that they can roast properly.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes in melted butter or olive oil before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Season the sweet potatoes with a variety of spices to add flavor. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and paprika.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.
  • Keep an eye on the sweet potatoes while they are roasting. If they start to burn, reduce the temperature or remove them from the oven.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, or maple syrup.
