    • Sweet potatoes
    • Olive oil
    • Cinnamon
    • Kosher salt

    That's it.

    Who knew a little cinnamon would add such a fun twist on a sweet potato?

    The instructions for roast these sweet potatoes don't get much easier:

    • Toss the cubes in the olive oil and cinnamon

    Keeping the "cube" shape is key to the fast cooking time with this recipe.

    🥡Storage

    Leftover roasted sweet potatoes will be good in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Just keep them in an air-tight container with a lid.

    To re-heat, it's easiest to just use the microwave and re-heat to the temperature you want.

    🥣Equipment

    To make these cubed, roasted sweet potatoes, you'll need a large bowl, a cookie sheet (or baking tray) and measuring spoons.

    😄What to serve with cubed sweet potatoes

    Oven roasted sweet potatoes are one of the easiest ways to get into gluten-free side dishes.

    Roasted sweet potatoes are a perfect addition to almost any protein and vegetable combo.

    Here's a few ideas:

    • Serve these roasted sweet potatoes alongside chicken like this recipe for Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Breast
    • Sweet potatoes and salmon is a nutritional-powerhouse of a combination. For salmon, try sweet potatoes with this recipe for Easy Baked Salmon with Mayo
    • Steak anyone?🥩BBQ or grill some steaks, steam some broccoli and these sweet potatoes round out a healthy and gluten-free weeknight meal
    • This sweet potato side dish would also be great nestled between plates of turkey, roasted vegetables, salads and other deliciousness laid out in a big buffet-style dinner
    • Not to mention, this Cast Iron Skillet Whole Roasted Chicken recipe too😋

    For even more options, Pip and Ebby has a great blog post on this - check it out here.

    ❓Can you eat sweet potato skin?

    Yes and YES. Not only can you eat sweet potato skin, if you're going for maximum nutrition, I say you definitely should eat sweet potato skin.

    So no need to peel the sweet potatoes before you roast them. The skin gives some texture, it'll save you time making this recipe, and it's good for you😄

    I hope you love this easy, gluten-free side dish.

      Neat idea to roast them and nice to have a new way to use sweet potatoes. However, after 20 min at 425 they were still basically raw. They either need double the time or cook with a lid on.

        Hey Kristen! Thanks for commenting and trying it out. Sorry the potatoes were under-cooked for you 🙁 That's no good. Hopefully with the adjustment in cooking time, you still like the taste. Thanks again 🙂
