Description

These Crispy Purple Sweet Potatoes are the appetizer candy you can’t stop eating.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, 2 purple and 1 jewel
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted + 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp sea salt, divided
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
  2. Grease two baking dishes with 1 tbsp coconut oil each. Set aside.
  3. Cut potatoes into 1” cubes and place them in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover potatoes by 1”; add 1 ½ tbsp of salt. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 8 minutes.
  4. Drain water completely. Distribute potatoes evenly between the baking dishes, making sure there’s no overlapping.
  5. Drizzle melted coconut oil over potatoes and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle remaining sea salt and pepper, and bake for 50 minutes, tossing half way to prevent burning.
  6. Allow potatoes to cool a bit before serving. Enjoy by themselves or with favorite condiment.

Notes

  1. Whenever I have leftover potatoes, I refrigerate them for later consumption. I love to add them cold to my salads.
