    Savory, sweet, and just a little bit spicy

    These Roasted Cinnamon Garlic Sweet Potatoes are savory, sweet, and just a little bit spicy. Diced sweet potatoes are tossed in garlic-infused olive oil then seasoned with cinnamon, Kosher salt, black pepper, and an optional pinch of cayenne (if you like a little heat), then roasted until tender and lightly caramelized. This tasty side dish takes just minutes of prep work and finishes in the oven for a totally easy hands-off dish.

    What should I serve these Roasted Cinnamon Garlic Sweet Potatoes with?

    I love to serve these roasted sweet potatoes with simple mains such as roasted or grilled chicken, pork, beef, or fish. They work wonderfully alongside other veggies for a delicious and easy sheet pan dinner. They are also really tasty for breakfast alongside eggs and your favorite breakfast meat, or to make a delicious breakfast bowl with quinoa, eggs, and a swirl of yogurt or Easy Labneh Cheese. Some specific dinner and breakfast recipes that they pair really well with are:

    • Kitchen Sink Frittata
    • Greek Lamb Meatballs with Tzatziki Sauce
    • Mediterranean Turkey Burgers

    • Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak with Avocado Chimichurri
