Today, I want to share with you my go-to method for roasting sweet potatoes. By following a few simple tips and tricks, you can create the most mouthwatering roasted sweet potatoes ever!
TIPS FOR PERFECT ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
Quality ingredients make all the difference in this recipe. While organic sweet potatoes are not a must, I find that they offer the best flavor. Additionally, using coconut oil enhances the taste, but you can also use ghee, butter, or olive oil for roasting.
ENHANCING FLAVOR WITH GARLIC
For an extra burst of flavor, try incorporating garlic and sea salt into your sweet potatoes. By inserting garlic pieces into the almost cooked sweet potatoes, you’ll infuse them with a delicious roasted garlic essence that elevates the dish to a whole new level.
Be sure to slice the sweet potatoes thick enough to accommodate the garlic and cut the garlic into large pieces to prevent it from breaking. Pre-roasting the potatoes beforehand helps soften the flesh for easy garlic insertion.
MAKE AHEAD AND ENJOY LATER
I often prepare a large batch of these sweet potatoes and store them in the fridge for later use. They pair well with salads, eggs for breakfast, or as a side dish for any meal.
