The Best Sweet Potato Sticks
Perfect for meal-prep or an easy, quick side dish – I always make sure I have some of these Easy Cinnamon Sweet Potato Sticks on hand! I probably make these every week and can’t get enough of them. When we aren’t eating them as a side dish for dinner, we toss them alongside some scrambled eggs, grab a couple for a snack, or put some in an Autumn Goddess Bowl. They are vegan and Whole30 compliant – oh and they taste delicious!

What You Will Need
- whole sweet potatoes – any variety of sweet potatoes or yams from your local grocery store or farmer’s market will work!
- olive oil – a light coating will help the outside of the sticks roast to perfection.
- ground cinnamon & kosher salt – simple seasonings that are so good!
How To Make Sweet Potato Sticks
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to grab your trusty cutting board and chef’s knife. Carefully cut off both ends of each sweet potato. Then cut them into long 1/2-inch thick sticks. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, cinnamon, and salt. Put on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes.

Lucretia says
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!
