But then I remembered these roasted sweet potatoes which are simple and cozy and honestly just no-fuss magic. I’ve definitely burned them once or twice or maybe three times yet when they turn out right. Oh man—they’ve got crispy edges while the inside stays soft and there’s that sweet-salty thing going on which makes them a total game-changer.

The funny thing is, I actually started making these on a camping trip where we didn’t have an oven—just foil, a fire, and a very skeptical group of hungry cousins. Fast forward to now and they ask for them every holiday even though some of them are super picky.

What to Eat with roasted sweet potatoes??

I love it on its own because it’s great on its own, but when I try it with chicken or salmon I love it even more. I sometimes serve it as a side dish instead of French fries. My mom always serves it with a side salad to add a touch of color and crunch to the dish. She always says you have to eat your vegetables and I really agree.
