Tips for making roasted diced sweet potatoes
- Make sure to cut your sweet potatoes in even pieces. This will ensure that they roast evenly.

- I prefer to use simple salt and pepper. But many are looking for a good seasoning for roasted sweet potatoes. Check out this sweet and spicy seasoning for an added kick.
- While you could sub tan or purple potatoes, I recommend sticking with the red sweet potatoes. They are sweeter and have a creamier texture.
