Ingredients
  

For the sweet potatoes
  • 2 lb sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For the garlic butter
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped fresh

Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 small saucepan

Method
 

Roast the sweet potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 28–35 minutes, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes, until browned and fork-tender.
Make the garlic butter
  1. While the potatoes roast, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant.
Finish the potatoes
  1. Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving bowl.
  2. Toss with the garlic butter and parsley, and serve.

Notes

Spread the cubes in a single layer so they brown evenly. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days; freeze for up to 3 months. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter.
