Roasting sweet potatoes is an easy way to cook once and enjoy all week. The high heat brings out natural sweetness and gives you a tender center with caramelized edges. Our Orange Kalim aw from Bukidnon is perfect for this method.

Why roast sweet potato for meal prep

One tray gives you several meals
Flavor stays great for days
Works for breakfast bowls, packed lunches, and quick dinners

What you need

Sweet potatoes with similar size
Neutral oil or olive oil
Salt and your favorite seasonings
One or two large baking trays

How to roast a big batch

Heat the oven to 220°C.
Wash, scrub, and dry well. Keep the skin if you like the texture.
Cut into 2 to 3 centimeter cubes or wedges.
Toss with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil and a good pinch of salt.
Spread in a single layer with space between pieces so they brown.
Roast 30 to 45 minutes depending on cut size and how crowded the tray is. Turn once at halfway.
They are done when edges are browned and a fork slides in easily.

Whole sweet potatoes roast well too. Prick the skin and bake at 220°C for about 45 to 60 minutes until soft.

Cool and store safely

Let trays cool until steam fades, then transfer to shallow containers
Refrigerate within two hours of cooking
Keep cooked sweet potatoes three to four days in the fridge
For longer storage, freeze after cooking in meal size packs

Reheat fast

Air fryer: 2 to 4 minutes to bring back the crisp on cubes and wedges
Oven or toaster oven: 200°C for 8 to 10 minutes
Microwave: 1 to 2 minutes for quick bowls
Whole roasted sweet potatoes reheat well in the microwave

Smart nutrition tip

Keep the skin for extra fiber and antioxidants. A small amount of fat like olive oil, butter, or coconut milk helps your body use beta carotene from orange sweet potatoes.
