This roasted sweet potato tacos recipe makes a delicious, filling, and nutritious meat-free meal! Load 'em up with your favorite toppings and enjoy these all season long.
I'd never had sweet potato tacos until I made this recipe, and now I don't know why I didn't make them sooner!
I keeping seeing them around, and I wanted to put my own spin on them. Sweet potatoes really are the perfect meatless taco filling... especially for fall.
I tossed the sweet potato pieces in a combo of some of the spices that are commonly found in taco seasoning as well as smoked paprika to give 'em a little extra something-something.
I don't buy packaged taco seasoning anymore. It's so easy to make your own, and this way you can control the amount of individual spices as well as the salt & pepper.
I don't think tacos need to be complicated to be good, so I topped these healthy sweet potato tacos with a few of my favorite things:
- Lots of lime juice
- Greek yogurt (feel free to use sour cream, but it gives the same effect with fewer calories)
- Tomatoes
- Red onion
- Cilantro
- Sliced avocado
With that in mind, tacos should be fun, so please do top them with whatever you like best/whatever you have on hand. 🙂

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Move the rack to the middle position.
