Every time fall rolls around, I feel it’s safe to officially crack open the sweet potato recipes. You don’t mind, do you?
I realize that sweet potatoes aren’t really just for fall, but, I kind of consider them a “cooler weather” food, at least when I’m making them.
You may have seen these Roasted Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes…it’s one of my most popular recipes! And since then, I’ve been hooked on roasted sweet potatoes. And by roasted, I mean “loaded with flavor” sweet potatoes.
I’ve never really liked sweet potatoes growing up, unless it was smothered in brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Definitely not the healthiest, but oh-so good! But, other than that, I wouldn’t touch sweet potatoes with a ten foot pole.
But, since my tastes have definitely evolved over the years (thank goodness, right?), I decided to give sweet potatoes another shot. And when I made those maple cinnamon sweet potatoes, I was hooked. I still have a hard time eating them plain, but pile on the seasonings, and I’m one happy girl.
And these savory sweet potatoes are just about as easy as you can get. The hardest part is slicing and dicing, which doesn’t take long.

Recipe Variations to Try
- Try different seasonings! There are a lot of different herb blends out there, or stick with something classic like rosemary or thyme.
- Switch up the garlic powder for fresh minced garlic! Use 3 to 4 cloves of garlic (depending on their size).
- Try using a flavored olive oil instead of plain olive oil! Fun options to try would be rosemary, tuscan herb, or hot pepper.
- If you want to bring a little heat to these roasted sweet potatoes, add in half a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper.
Can I Prep Savory Roasted Sweet Potatoes in Advance?
I’m not sure, as I always serve these baked sweet potato cubes right away. I imagine you could cook the savory sweet potatoes ahead of time and reheat them just before serving, but you might lose some of the crispness that way.

Tips for Making Savory Roasted Sweet Potatoes

- Roast these sweet potatoes on parchment paper for easy clean up!
- Toss the potatoes about halfway through the cooking time to make sure all sides get browned evenly.
