Discover Tales Of A Kitchen’s recipe for perfectly roasted murasaki sweet potatoes with their naturally sweet, chestnut-like flavor and vibrant purple skin.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 medium Murasaki sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, or honey
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Cut into Cubes: Slice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Season: Toss the cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. For a flavor twist, add your favorite seasonings like rosemary or paprika.
- Roast: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through to ensure even browning. The potatoes are done when they’re tender inside and caramelized outside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy these crispy, golden bites as a side dish or snack.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for crispiness.
- Seasoning Variations: Experiment with cumin, cinnamon, or garlic powder for unique twists.
- Pairing Idea: Serve alongside roasted chicken or grilled salmon for a complete meal.
