Roasted Beets and Sweet Potatoes cook up in just 30-40 minutes!

We eat sweets and beets like candy. I often make a large batch and just store in containers. They are excellent plain and you could even put them into a salad or burrito and wraps! Most of the time we just eat them off the tray within minutes, they’re that good! I make it whenever we buy beets and sweet potatoes. You can use any variety of sweet potato, even purple sweet potatoes will work well in this recipe.

We like to roast them using coconut oil. We sprinkle with seasonings like garlic, parsley, and onion. You could even add chopped onions and garlic if you’d like.

Kids will love this recipe too as it’s super sweet and who doesn’t love potatoes? It’s a healthy side dish that is great for snacking. Make a huge sheet pan of them for meal planning.

how to make roasted beets and sweet potatoes

• Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. Chop up the sweet potatoes and beets in about 1/2 inch bite size pieces and place right on the baking sheet, a sheet lined with parchment paper or reusable liner like a Silpat.
• Season the beets and sweets with the desired seasoning. We use garlic, onion, and salt. You could simply use salt and pepper as well.
• Bake for 20 minutes and then give a toss. If you want them to cook in just 30 minutes cut the sweet potatoes and beets into smaller bite-size pieces.
• Cook another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
• We do not recommend using olive oil and also no longer use coconut oil. We suggest using a high smoke point oil and use either avocado oil or algae oil when baking in the oven to 400 degrees and over.

recipe tips:

• if you want some color you can also add some parsley, we do this sometimes if we’re placing on salads to make it look prettier, but it doesn’t change the flavor much.
• you can make roasted sweets and beets ahead of time – make a large batch for meal planning.
• add them to give a heartiness to salads, burritos, burrito bowls, wraps, and even breakfast hash.
• add in other root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, you can even roast Brussels sprouts with this recipe.
