Cooking Notes
B Dawson
Please become more aware of how much plastic is used once and then thrown away. Use a bowl and wash it. It may take more time but the environment will be a tiny bit better off!
Toni
I have put all ingredients in large plastic bag and shaken it to coat oil evenly before baking. Time saver.
Anon
I use Mason jars.

I have been serving sweet potatoes this way for about a year now. I became frustrated by how long it took to bake those giant sweet potatoes. They peel quite easily with a potato (!) peeler. Sometimes I add maple syrup or cinnamon. Yummy! Note to Dawson. Plastic bags can be washed. After swishing with soap. Rinse and hang inside out.
Mary
I use any type of seasoning on these that happens to find itself in my hand - Greek, Italian, Cajun . . . even lemon pepper. It's all good.
Susan
Use walnut oil. Gives an additional flavor boost.

Agreed, B Dawson - Any time I mix veggies in olive oil, I use a bowl and my hands. (And the olive oil softens hands so nicely!)

sure, plastic bags can be washed, but Toni, the original commenter, said her method is a 'time saver' so she probably isn't washing them. It's a lot harder to clean oil out of a plastic bag than it is to wash out a bowl. So B Dawson is probably correct in assuming that Toni is throwing the Ziplocs straight into the trash--otherwise her way takes longer and is more annoying than the old-fashioned way.

I roast everything at 450°. I make roasted sweet potatoes frequently. I’ve added seasonings including cinnamon, Week Day Hero & others. I cube, wedge & “French fry” them. I roast almost all my vegetables this way. Brussels Sprouts, green beans, squashes, beets, etc. IMO roasting is the way to improve the flavor of most veggies.
Anne
To spice these up I tossed with gochujang and soy sauce, delicous!
george plant
i poke holes in sweet potatoes, yams, other potatoes and just microwave them..they are great as is, cut into disks, skin peels off easily if you don't like to eat it

I make this all the time, with nearly the same recipe. My go-to spice for roasted sweet potatoes is smoked paprika. It tastes fresher if you add it at the end of the baking period.
GW
Simply toss them in a bowl... easy peasy.
Dean Smith
Made this for the two of us..used one medium sweet potato and put in toaster oven on convection bake at 425 and after about 25 minutes they were not only done, but burned. Still edible, but next time I'll adjust cooking time or temp.
Peggy W
Do you roast on parchment paper for easy cleanup? Especially if using brown sugar or maple syrup?
Edith
Add a little brown sugar and/or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Tastes remarkably like sweet potato casserole!
Cheryl
I'm thinking about making this ahead for Thanksgiving but it seems like served freshly roasted would be the best? Anyone tried making a day ahead?
Joni D
Made it as written. Delicious and easy!
Tamara
Add a diced red onion as well as some red pepper flakes (to taste) and it’s amazing!

I like to sprinkle with chipotle flakes and smoked paprika…

I don’t peel them. I wash all my veggies before hand, toss in olive oil, season as desired & roast!
