Description

Swap out the standard orange sweet potatoes for these oven-roasted purple sweet potato halves! Boasting a beautiful vibrant color, these purple sweet potatoes are crispy on the outside yet light and fluffy on the inside. Vegan and gluten-free.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3-4 small purple sweet potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Halve the sweet potatoes and coat all sides generously in olive oil, salt and pepper.
  3. Place the sweet potato halves facedown in a cast iron skillet and roast for 30-35 minutes. They will be super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  4. Serve immediately, ideally with a dipping sauce to add more moisture. I love pairing them with this 5-minute lemon herb tahini or this crazy addictive vegan whipped feta.
