Spicy-Sweet Roasted Sweet Potatoes

I love the sweet taste of sweet potatoes and I love them even more in savory recipes with some spice than in straight up sweet recipes. The flavor contrast is SO good.

This recipe has so many 5-star reviews. Even people who think they don’t like sweet potatoes ebd up loving this recipe.

How To Make Spicy-Sweet Roasted Sweet Potatoes

1. To make these Roasted Sweet Potatoes peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small bite-sized pieces. I like them pretty small.
2. Next drizzle them with olive oil and coat them in a spice mixture of chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, black pepper and some brown sugar.
   
3. Transfer them to a baking sheet, spreading them out as much as possible.
   
4. Roast them in a 425 degree oven. Watch them carefully because you want to try to get them nice and browned but they will burn if you cook them too long.
   

How To Serve

Spicy-Sweet Roasted Sweet Potatoes make a tasty side for chicken, pork, or beef and they also taste great served with over easy eggs for breakfast. Try tossing leftovers in a green salad with some feta cheese. Or mix them with black beans and you have a wonderful filling for vegetarian tacos or quesadillas.

One commenter recommended using the spicy mixture for this recipe on frozen sweet potato tater tots. I can’t wait to try it!

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. Reheat in either a 350 degree oven or an air fryer.
