Delicious cubes of sweet potato, coated in spices, garlic and lime juice and roasted in the oven for just 20 minutes, these Mexican Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes make a delicious side dish for tacos, fajitas and BBQs. I was originally inspired to make my roasted sweet potatoes cube shaped on my sweet potato roasted cubes to Wahaca back in October.
The sweet potato cubes were one of my favourite parts of the meal. The spice mix itself is delicious, but smother it on little cubes of sweet potato and roast in a hot oven for 20 minutes and you have yourself something rather wonderful! Mix together the cumin, paprika, chilli, salt, garlic, olive oil and lime juice in a large bowl. Add the cubes of sweet potato and stir to coat thoroughly.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. I have found that if you use a good non stick baking sheet, the cubes don’t need turning throughout their cooking time, but if you are at all worried do give them a check after 10 minutes and turn them if you think necessary.

Don’t want to miss a thing? For some reason I never thought to cube them, I think it is a brilliant idea! How do you find the skin though? I have been always peeling them as find their skin a bit tough. Perhaps it’s not such a problem with cubes as they are smaller?
I like the fact that you get more of the goodness with the skins on and that’s one less job to do, too! These Sweet Potato Cubes very much remind me of a similar dish I make using Butternut Squash instead. There is something about the smaller shape that does make them so much more delicious! Garlic and paprika flavoured sweet potato as so yummy. Oh, I love sweet potato and often have it in wedges as alternative to chips. This will be a great alternative. I started doing cubes and now I am not sure I can go back!
