These are roasted sweet potatoes are gorgeous, I mean, just look at them! And I can’t really take any credit, they just do this, on their own, given a little fat & heat. Although there’s not really a recipe…. this is my “how to” on making the best, butter, roasted sweet potatoes and I’m sharing it because there’s been a lot of interest on my Instagram account about these beauties. So here it is.
The perfect roasted sweet potato. Dare I say CARAMELIZED. Because that is what they do all on their own! This method keeps them paleo and Whole30 compliant. If you use coconut oil instead of ghee it’s autoimmune paleo compliant too.
As for my low carbers…. if you want to practice a CARB UP… THIS. Don’t go for gluten or pizza… go for tubers. Whole ingredient foods. Yum! Great pre-biotic fiber to feed the bacteria in your gut 🙂

- Category: Sides
- Method: Bake

Ingredients
- 3 large garnet sweet potatoes, opt for ones that are longer instead of thicker
- 3 tablespoons ghee, I used Tin Star cultured brown butter (it’s casein & lactose free)

Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400F.

- Place cut side down on the sheet pan & place in the oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- When you can easily pierce with a fork through the skin, they’re done.
- Use a spatula to scrape them off the sheet pan, most of them won’t stick, but you don’t want to risk peeling off some yummy caramelized parts.

- These reheat well, add them to your batch cook!
- Serve with grilled meats, burgers, eggs, or topped with ground beef & veggies. They also compliment salads well ?

Delicious and a snap to make! Naturally sweet and so versatile — I make them as a side dish, then slice and reheat them in the skillet with fried eggs for breakfast, and often eat them cold, as a nutritious snack. Thanks Cristina!
