Roasted Sweet Potato Chaat is a wholesome version of classic street-style chaat. Cubes of sweet potato are oven-roasted until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, then tossed with tangy chutneys, spices, and crunchy toppings. It delivers comfort, flavour, and nutrition in one bowl, making it ideal for guilt-free snacking.

3Sweet potatoes (medium) For Roasting Sweet Potatoes
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if preferred, though leaving the skin on adds extra fibre and texture. Cut them into evenly sized cubes to ensure uniform roasting. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel so they roast rather than steam.

Step 2: Season The Sweet Potatoes
Transfer the cubed sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add oil, salt, red chilli powder, and roasted cumin powder. Toss well so every piece is lightly coated. This seasoning creates a flavourful crust once roasted and forms the base of the chaat.

Step 3: Roast Until Golden
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, keeping them in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through. The pieces should be crisp on the outside and soft inside. This roasting step brings out the natural sweetness while adding a smoky depth.

Step 4: Prepare The Chaat Toppings
While the sweet potatoes roast, prep the toppings. Finely chop the onion, boil the sweet corn, and separate the pomegranate pearls. Wash and chop fresh coriander. Keep green chutney and tamarind-date chutney ready for quick assembly.

Step 5: Assemble The Chaat Base
Transfer the hot roasted sweet potatoes to a wide mixing bowl. Add chopped onion and boiled sweet corn. Gently toss so the heat slightly softens the onions without making them mushy. This balance keeps the chaat fresh yet comforting.

Step 6: Add Chutneys And Spices
Drizzle green chutney and tamarind-date chutney over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle chaat masala, black salt, and lemon juice. Mix gently so the cubes stay intact while getting evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7: Finish With Crunch And Freshness
