Garlic Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Crispy, caramelized sweet potato cubes tossed in a garlic butter glaze. Easy to make, customizable, and perfect as a side dish or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes about 2–3 medium, scrubbed and cut into 1/2–3/4-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika optional
- ½ tsp salt plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
- drizzle of honey or maple or a squeeze of lemon Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 18–22 minutes, flip, then roast another 12–15 minutes until browned at the edges and tender inside.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 30–45 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat immediately.
- Transfer hot potatoes to a bowl, pour garlic butter over them, and toss gently. Adjust seasoning, add optional honey or lemon, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- Cut sweet potato cubes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use two baking sheets if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—watch closely.
