I spend a lot of time in the summer dreading the fall. Warm, sunny weather in the Pacific Northwest is a rarity and I truly do hate to see it go. But now that cooler days have set in, I’ve remembered that I actually like wearing scarves and sweaters, using the fireplace, and making crock-pot dinners. I also love sweet potatoes.
Even for breakfast.
These are perfect alongside some local grass-fed goat sausages. I made enough for a few days and then breakfast was just a few microwave buttons away.

That looks great. I love cumin, particularly in the fall and winter.
Yes! I’m excited to get back to my warming fall spices. 🙂
Looks delicious!
Just made this dish. Forgot the onions though. still turned out great!
Did you try with goat sausage? 🙂
I would think that would be right up your alley.
Didn’t have the sausage on hand. I had a side of my gyro meatloaf instead.
Sounds good!
I use a lot of cayenne and cinnamon with sweet potatoes, but had never thought of cumin. I’m going to give it a try.
I might have to try cayenne and cinnamon next time!
Hey thanks for posting a link to my Sweet Potato Fries recipe. I’m always on the lookout for good sweet potato recipes and yours looks fantastic! How did the cumin and paprika do together?
They’re great…nice warming spices. 🙂
I’ll have to try it sometime.
isn’t everything better with coconut oil? 😉
Yes! It’s my new go-to for cooking.
I love sweet potatoes, and this recipe sounds like a very tasty way to prepare them!
Hi Hannah,
We just got home from a month in Oregon and we just loved those cool temp’s, but we needed a jacket some of the days on the beach. Your Cumin Roasted Sweet Potatoes will be a favorite dish with us and those sausages would really top it off. Hope you are having a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Yes, I was surprised when I moved here that “going to the beach” generally means sweaters, not swimsuits!
Cumin and paprika are a great complement to sweet potatoes and this is super easy to prepare too. thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop. 🙂
