Garlic Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes are a flavorful and easy side dish that combines caramelized sweet potatoes with savory garlic-infused butter, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

  1. 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  2. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  3. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  5. 1 teaspoon salt
  6. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  7. 1/2 teaspoon paprika or thyme (optional)
  8. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  1. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with the garlic butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add paprika or thyme if using.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  1. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients—just wash thoroughly.
  2. For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  3. Add a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet-savory twist.
  4. To make it vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative or just use olive oil.
  5. Reheat in the oven or skillet to retain crisp texture.
