Modifications

You can make this recipe with either peeled or unpeeled sweet potatoes, depending on your preference. If you don't peel the sweet potatoes, be sure to gently scrub and dry them before cutting.

Storage

Roasted potatoes will keep for up to seven days when refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.

Freezing sweet potato cubes is as easy as letting them cool, transferring to an airtight container or bag, then to the freezer. They can freeze for up to six months before the texture and taste start to be impacted. Thaw frozen sweet potato pieces in the refrigerator overnight and eat them within two days.
