Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce are our favorite way to enjoy sweet potatoes right now. They are roasted to perfection, and the perfect flavor combination with the Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.
Not too long ago, I went into Whole Foods to pick up a few ingredients as well as something we could easily eat for dinner. I saw some Thai Sweet Chili Sweet Potatoes on the hot bar and they looked absolutely delicious. When I got the sweet potatoes home for us to enjoy, we ate every single bite. We all loved them, so I knew I had to recreate the recipe.
These Sweet Potatoes with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce are incredibly simple! I love meals that include roasting things in the oven because I feel like I can use the time while the food is in the oven to clean up or be productive in another way. It’s like doing two things at once 😉
Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals making them a wonderful addition to your weekly meal plan.
Ingredients in Sweet Potatoes with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes contain a good amount of the antioxidant beta carotene, which raises levels of vitamin A in the body. They also contain a high amount of fiber, which may increase fullness, reduce blood sugar spikes, and aid in digestive health.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil contains a ton of antioxidants, and monounsaturated fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids are linked with heart health and may help decrease the risk of heart disease.
Thai Sweet Chili Sauce: This is a sweet, slightly tangy sauce made with chili peppers, rice wine vinegar, garlic and a few other ingredients. In my opinion, this sauce pairs perfectly with the sweet potatoes!
How to Make Sweet Potatoes with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
Start by cutting the sweet potatoes into wedges. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast the potatoes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes. Remove the cooked potatoes from the oven and toss with the Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. Then, your sweet potatoes are ready to serve!
Tips for Making Sweet Potatoes with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
You can cut the sweet potatoes into whatever shape you want, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
You can use more or less sauce to taste.
This side dish goes with so many things! We love serving it with roasted chicken or fish and a yummy side salad (like my kale caesar salad).
If you are making this for a child under the age of 1, I would refer to this guide for the shape and size of the sweet potato, omit the salt and serve the sauce on the side so you can adjust the amount of sauce served to the young child.
