For perfectly roasted sweet potatoes every time, abide by these simple rules. Roast at a super high temperature. Low and slow roasting brings out the natural sugars in fruits and veggies. Since sweet potatoes bring plenty of sweetness already, we opt for higher temperature for roasting.

This way, they get a nice golden char on the outside, while maintaining a custardy smooth core. Unless the goal is to bake your potatoes whole, cutting them into 2. 5cm cubes means a faster cook time and more surface area per bite for delicious caramelisation. Aim for equally sized potato pieces so that each piece cooks at the same rate. Ditch the skin — or don’t.
