Ingredients

1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed (and peeled, if desired), cut into 1-inch wedges or pieces
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (see Note)
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F.
Combine oil, chile-garlic sauce, soy sauce and white pepper in a large bowl. Add sweet potatoes; toss to coat with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast, stirring once or twice, until the sweet potatoes are tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips

Note: Chile-garlic sauce (also labeled chili-garlic sauce, or paste) is a blend of ground chiles, garlic and vinegar. It can be found in the Asian section of large supermarkets and will keep for up to 1 year in the refrigerator.

Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
