Satisfying and delicious vegan savory roasted sweet potatoes with garlic, fresh parsley and green onions. The perfect easy and quick side dish for the holiday season!
Sweet potatoes are a major staple in our household! They are absolutely delicious and they are so versatile. We love baking and stuffing them with chickpeas and greens, as well as eating them mashed but let me introduce you to our new favorite way to enjoy them: vegan savory roasted sweet potatoes!
The idea for this recipe all started on Thanksgiving when I made mashed sweet potatoes, but I didn’t want the typical sugar/cinnamon combo that usually accompanies them. So, I finished them off with salt, pepper, garlic, fresh parsley and green onions (and a little vegan butter) and we were hooked! They tasted incredible!
These roasted sweet potatoes are much quicker to make than the mashed version so I prefer this recipe, it’s perfect for quick weeknight meals. These make a fast and easy vegan side dish, especially for Christmas or any holiday celebration, and are a delicious switch up from common sweet potato recipes.
The sweetness from the sweet potatoes pairs so nicely with the warmth of the garlic, then finished off with a pop of freshness from the parsley and green onions for that brightness and sharpness. Delicious.
How to Make Vegan Savory Roasted Sweet Potatoes
First, start by preheating your oven to 415 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, wash and dry your 3 medium sweet potatoes.
Cut your sweet potatoes into rounds, about 1/2 an inch thick. Then, cut the rounds into cubes that are about 1 inch. Measure out 6 cups of 1 inch cubes.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to a large bowl and then add olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
Once the oven is preheated, add your potatoes to the prepared baking sheet (make sure to give the potatoes some space on the baking sheet or they will steam, not roast) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping once around the halfway mark. They are done when soft and easily pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are in the oven, wash and chop the fresh parsley and green onions. Set aside when done.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and add to a bowl. Add the chopped fresh parsley and green onions and stir well until the potatoes are evenly coated. Taste test and adjust salt, pepper, or more parsley/green onion. We also love to top ours with vegan Parmesan cheese, or nutritional yeast.
Serve while warm and enjoy!
