These Healthy Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes are full of flavor and they’re on the table in under an hour. They’re loaded with fiber, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates to fuel your body without gluten, dairy, soy or sugar!

Hello roasted sweet potatoes of my dreams. I posted a quick snapshot of these sweet potatoes a few weeks ago on Instagram and they are by far the most popular food photo so far. Not only do they look insanely delicious, they’re easy and full of flavor.

These roasted sweet potatoes are easy to make. No need to worry if you don’t call yourself a ‘cook’. Anyone can make these.

I repeat. Anyone.

Let me show you how it’s done.

(Listen below for the AUDIO step-by-step instructions)

All you need to do is start with 2-4 large sweet potatoes. Scrub them well, rub them with olive oil (that’s the trick to tender potatoes!), poke holes in each potato with a fork and toss them in the oven to roast.

Then, pull them out of the oven, slice them lengthwise and stuff them with a handful of really, really flavorful veggies, an out-of-this-world sauce, sesame seeds and fresh dill.

Voila, there is a meal for you that takes very little prep time on your behalf. I really think you’re going to love these.

OPTION to ADD Organic Animal Protein

Because all of our bodies are very different, some of you have requested recipe alternatives that have animal protein options.

For this recipe, you can easily add pulled chicken to this recipe. Poach a chicken breast in vegetable broth or water with sea salt and cook covered over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Then, use a fork to pull and shred the chicken. You can add the shredded chicken on top of the sweet potatoes.

You can also poach an organic egg and add the egg on top of each sweet potato, if desired.
