How to Make Texas Roadhouse Sweet Potatoes

Freshly scrubbed sweet potatoes pierced with a fork, ready for cooking.

Step One: Start by scrubbing the sweet potatoes clean and patting them dry. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.

Step Two: Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t crowded for even cooking. Air fry for about 35-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking times may vary based on the size of the sweet potatoes.

Step Three: While the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the honey cinnamon butter and caramel sauce. For the honey cinnamon butter, mix softened butter with cinnamon, vanilla, and honey. For the caramel sauce, combine butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan and heat until smooth.

Step Four: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Top them with mini marshmallows, honey cinnamon butter, and caramel sauce. Optionally, return the sweet potatoes to the air fryer for a few more minutes to toast the marshmallows. Serve your Texas Roadhouse-style sweet potatoes warm with your favorite meal, and enjoy this deliciously sweet and savory treat!

Recipe Variations

  • Pecan Topping: Add chopped pecans on top of the sweet potatoes for a crunchy, nutty texture that complements the sweetness.
  • Brown Sugar Topping: Instead of honey cinnamon butter, use a brown sugar glaze for a richer, more caramelized flavor.
  • Marshmallow-Free Version: Skip the mini marshmallows for a simpler, more savory sweet potato topped with just honey cinnamon butter and caramel sauce.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the cinnamon butter for a spicy kick that balances the sweetness.
  • Vegan Option: Swap the butter with vegan butter and use a plant-based caramel sauce for a dairy-free version.
  • Coconut Flakes: Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for a tropical twist that pairs wonderfully with the sweet potatoes.

Copycat Texas Roadhouse Sweet Potato Recipe Tips

  • Use Fresh Sweet Potatoes: For the best texture and flavor, opt for fresh, firm sweet potatoes rather than pre-cooked or canned varieties.
  • Adjust the Cooking Time: Depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, the cooking time may vary. Always check them by inserting a fork to ensure they’re tender all the way through.
  • Crispier Skin: If you love crispy skin, try roasting your sweet potatoes at a higher temperature (around 400°F) for a bit longer to get that perfect, crunchy texture.
  • Add Extra Flavor: If you want to enhance the sweetness, feel free to add a dash vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg to the honey cinnamon butter.
  • Keep the Marshmallows Melty: For perfectly melted marshmallows, broil the sweet potatoes for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to get a golden, gooey topping.
  • Perfect the Butter: If you’re making honey cinnamon butter, let the butter soften before mixing for a smoother consistency and better incorporation of flavors.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the sweet potatoes and topping ahead of time. Simply store the cooked potatoes and topping separately and reheat them before serving

Storing

  • Storing: Once cooked, allow the sweet potatoes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Be sure to keep the marshmallows and toppings separate to maintain their texture.
  • Freezing: To freeze, let the sweet potatoes cool, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap (saran wrap) or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months, but freezing may alter the texture of the marshmallows and toppings.
  • Reheating: To reheat, warm the sweet potatoes in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. If you froze the potatoes, allow them to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for the best results. For added flavor, drizzle a tablespoon of brown sugar,
