This simple recipe calls for just salt and pepper, but you don't have to stop there. You can jazz up sweet potatoes with herbs<\/a>, spices, nuts and even cheese after (or before) they're done roasting. Dried spices like chili powder or smoked paprika pair nicely with roasted sweet potatoes and are best added before they hit the oven. Fresh herbs like thyme, basil or rosemary lend the most flavor when they're added after the sweet potatoes are done roasting. Tossing chopped nuts or crumbled cheese like goat cheese or blue cheese with roasted sweet potatoes a few minutes after they leave the oven is a great way to add flavor and texture.<\/p>"

"text": " This easy side dish can be prepared for a weeknight dinner and pairs well with many main dishes. Crispy Roast Chicken<\/a>, Steak au Poivre<\/a>, Skillet Lemon-Garlic Salmon<\/a> and Lemon-Balsamic Chicken Thighs<\/a> make a delicious accompaniment to these roasted sweet potatoes.<\/p> We line a large rimmed baking sheet<\/a> with foil, then coat the foil with cooking spray before the sweet potatoes are added to the pan. Since the oven is hot (425°F), the foil acts as a layer of insulation that will prevent over-browning. (Plus it will make cleanup a lot easier!) In order for the sweet potatoes to cook evenly, you'll have to turn them once halfway through cooking. A layer of cooking spray on the pan makes this a whole lot easier and prevents the potatoes from sticking.<\/p>"

"text": " Once the potatoes have completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. They will remain good for about 5 days, though they taste best if eaten sooner. To reheat, you can use a microwave on Medium power, checking the temperature in 1-minute intervals until they are warm enough. For the crispiest results, reheat them in an air fryer, toaster oven or conventional oven at 400°F for approximately 15 minutes.<\/p>"
