Roasting sweet potatoes is easier than you think. We will show you how easy it is to do with today’s recipe for Baked Sweet Potato Cubes. It was inspired by our recipe for Baked Parmesan Potatoes that we’ve made for years.

They were so good and were literally gone in minutes!

Go to sweet potato recipe. It’s sooo good and you can’t go wrong adding extra garlic and butter
Glad you like it! Thank you so much for trying it!
Going to try these tomorrow for a family dinner. If using 6 potatoes, do you think I would have to bake longer? I’m terrible with cooking and have no idea!
You probably will or you can spread it out over a bigger sheet pan & it might be the same time. You may want to double up or even triple the ingredients, since you have more potatoes. Just keep checking on the potatoes & you’ll know when they are done. 🙂 Good luck!
Yum! Can’t have cheese but will definitely try this! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!! Glad to share! Let me know what you think 🙂
How would you suggest I reheat these? I want to make them for Thanksgiving but they will need to be reheated before eating.
I’m not sure how you’d want to reheat these. I usually bake them when I know we’ll be eating them. You could keep them in the oven on a low temp. That would be my only suggestion. I don’t think the microwave would work. They might just get soggy. Good luck!
Hi Kristyn,
I just made the sweet potato recipe. It was absolutely delicious, thanks for sharing.
Oh, I am so glad you liked them! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Made these this morning before I went to work. Oh. My. Goodness! This will be added to my regular day. These are so good!! Thank you for the amazing recipe!!
You are so welcome!! Thank you so much!! I am so glad you liked them!
I found this recipe and now I can’t stop making it! There are delicious!
LOL!! I’m glad 🙂 Thanks so much!
I made these and they were delicious! However, they took way longer than 22 minutes. I was disappointed because they weren’t ready when the rest of my dinner was.
I am sorry they took longer, but I’m glad you liked them. I know all ovens are different & cooking times may be different. Mine is super hot, so I know things don’t cook as long as recipes suggest. Thank you for trying them!
These are amazing. I made this and baked sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts together.. yum. I also gave the sweet potatoe peelings to my dog and he loved them. Usually I don’t peel sweet potatoes as I eat the skin too, but for this recipie I peeled and doggie was happy.
Haha..glad he liked them! Thank you for stopping by and for sharing!
These sweet potatoes have become a family favorite. I’ve also taken it to several potlucks and it’s always a winner. I live in the south so most people around here think sweet potatoes can only be baked or candied. Thanks for expanding my horizons.
LOL..you are so welcome!! Thank you for giving them a try!! So glad they are a favorite!
