Description
Consider this Caramelized Roasted Sweet Potatoes recipe to be your foolproof guide on making the best oven-roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are super tender on the inside and caramelized on the outside. Enjoy them for general eating pleasures or puree the flesh for homemade sweet potato puree for baking needs!
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large sweet potatoes, cleaned & patted dry
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with nonstick spray. Then place the sweet potatoes, flesh-side down, on the parchment paper and move around to ensure the flesh is coated in the nonstick spray. Then spray the outer portion of the potatoes again with nonstick spray.
- Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-55 minutes until the sweet potato flesh is fork-tender when checked, and the flesh is caramelized.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and leave them alone on the baking sheet. Let the roasted sweet potatoes cool down for at least 20 minutes. Then flip them over and enjoy as-is with your favorite toppings/pairings or scoop out the flesh (pick and discard any extra charred pieces) and transfer into the body of a high-speed blender or food processor to puree until smooth. With the puree, you can make sweet potato pie, sweet potato waffles, sweet potato cinnamon rolls, and much more!
