These roasted sweet potatoes are a versatile vegan staple, designed to streamline your weekly meal prep while delivering maximum flavour. By roasting them cut-side down at a high temperature, the natural sugars caramelise against the baking tray, resulting in a deeply savoury, golden crust and a buttery, soft interior. They provide a nutritious, fibre-rich base for various toppings or serve as a satisfying accompaniment to your favourite main courses.
Ideal for a Sunday stash or batch-cooking session, these potatoes are as practical as they are delicious. Once roasted, they can be stored in the fridge for several days, ready to be tossed into vibrant salads, mashed into quick pancakes, or simply reheated for a swift midweek lunch. This straightforward method ensures consistent results every time, making it a reliable addition to any plant-based repertoire.

Ingredients for Sunday Stash Sweet Potatoes
8 large sweet potatoes (9–350g each)
60ml vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
How to make Sunday Stash Sweet Potatoes
Back to contentsPlace racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 204°C. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil and season all over with salt. Rub sweet potatoes with your hands to evenly coat, then arrange cut side down. Roast potatoes, rotating baking sheets top to bottom halfway through, until fork-tender, 25–35 minutes (depending on their size, some may be done before others; test each one every 5 minutes after the 25-minute mark).
Do Ahead: Sweet potatoes can be roasted 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
