Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 1 (1-oz) packet onion soup mix
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- Black pepper, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting sweet potatoes evenly.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes to remove the skin, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for uniform cooking.
- Season the Potatoes: Place the cubed sweet potatoes into a large bowl, drizzle them evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle the onion soup mix over them. Toss everything together to coat the potatoes completely. Add salt and black pepper if desired for extra flavor.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Halfway through the roasting time, stir the potatoes to promote even cooking and browning.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- You can substitute the onion soup mix with your favorite spice blend if desired.
- Leftover roasted sweet potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- To make this recipe vegan and gluten-free, ensure the onion soup mix is suitable or use a homemade blend.
