Best Sweet Potato Sticks
Perfect for meal-prepping or an easy, quick side dish or snack – I always make sure I have some of these Easy Cinnamon Sweet Potato Sticks on hand!
Okay you guys, I am pumped to share this recipe because it is literally something I make every week. Seriously. We keep a container of these guys in the fridge at all times. I make a huge batch of them once a week and then we throw them in as a side dish for dinner, toss them alongside some scrambled eggs or just grab a couple when I am hungry for a snack (I put some in this Autumn Goddess Bowl too). They are vegan and Whole30 compliant – oh and they taste delicious!
So what are they exactly – welllll, they aren’t quite a French fry, they are a bit bigger than that and softer…. so that’s why I went with “stick.” You can use any kind of sweet potato you want and the recipe is soooo easy. You barely even need to measure anything. If you are doing a Whole30 or are just looking for some healthy and easy side dishes – I am telling you that this is perfect (completely kid-friendly too!).
I usually dip it in either a mustard-mayo (literally just combine some mayo and yellow mustard) or ranch. Wholesisters have amazing “dump” recipes on their site for both homemade Whole30 ranch and mayo – I have been making them so much lately that I have made a few tweaks and will be sharing my own versions with you guys soon!

Hi.
Im just wondering how you heat these up if you make them in advance? Does it make a difference if you use parchment paper verses foil?
thanks
Erin says
Hi Lucretia – you can heat them up in the microwave or in the oven, whichever you prefer! I normally choose parchment over foil. Hope that helps!
