Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Jump to Recipe

Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes is just the perfect side dish for the Thanksgiving meal or any fall gathering. This recipe is a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. 

Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Fall recipes are not complete without cooking with sweet potatoes. Fall or not, sweet potato is one of our favorite vegetables and any day my boys prefer this over any other vegetable. The next best part is my boys love roasted vegetables. That is when I thought why not make Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes over the weekend. As soon as the aroma of the sweet potatoes roasting in the oven started filling the house, the boys were behind me asking when will it be done.

The minute it came out of the oven, they pounced on it right away asking me if they can taste test it. One piece became two and then three and so on. At that point, I had to force them to not touch it until I was done with photographing it. This was a great hit in the house and the only sad part was they wanted more. I promised my little one that I will make him some for his school on Monday.

This recipe for the Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes cannot be any simpler. All it needs is a little bit of tossing and then baking. I used spices that my family would prefer. You could alter it or add more or less of any spice that you like. Sweet potato paratha is one of our favorite recipes that I make with the vegetable. But now after making this Spicy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes, it appears that this might just become our new favorite.

    Your post has just reminded me that I have sweet potatoes lying in my fridge that I bought during navratri and forgot to use. Not those are surely going into the oven to make these crisp roasted sweet potatoes.

    Roasted vegetables taste awesome. As Pavani said, everyone would gobble up those in the name of taste testing.
