A quick and easy recipe of delicious roasted sweet potatoes with a choice of spices.
Serve with protein and vegetables or salad.
I enjoy sweet potatoes frequently for dinner with a large salad mixed. If I have leftover chicken I will add it to the salad or sometimes canned wild salmon.
Sweet potatoes are filling, satisfying and nutritious. I love this easy dinner especially when I am tired and don’t want to cook much.
You can cut them like French fries or into chunks. Either way they are delicious.
The same recipe can also be made with butternut squash.

Ingredients
- 2 large organic sweet potatoes, 1 ½ – 2 pounds
- olive oil or coconut oil
- Celtic sea salt & fresh pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the sweet potatoes, you want the pan to be very hot.
- Prepare the potatoes: If they are organic you can wash them thoroughly and leave the skin on. If not peel them.
