Do I have to use sweet potatoes for this recipe?

No, you could easily substitute yukon gold or roasting potatoes cubed for this recipe. I also like to substitute or add brussel sprouts when they are in season. Be sure to chop the brussel sprouts in half and to cube the potatoes into even sizes so they all cook evenly.

How do I make my sweet potatoes not dry?

It is really important to put the cubed sweet potatoes in a bowl with the ingredients and stir them around to really coat the potatoes in oil and herbs. If you pour the sweet potatoes onto the sheet pan and then pour the ingredients over top they may stick or get dry. The key is to really coat the potatoes in the oil on all sides.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Chop the sweet potatoes into even cubes. In a mixing bowl stir and coat the sweet potatoes cubes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and sage.

Pour the sweet potatoes on 2/3 of the baking sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are baking make the meatloaf.

In the mixing bowl add the ground beef, finely grated onion, bread crumbs, egg, ketchup, coconut aminos, parsley, salt and pepper. Using your hands or a spoon mix the ingredients together thoroughly.

When the sweet potatoes come out of the oven form the meat mixture into four evenly sized meatloafs and carefully lay them out on the empty 1/3 of the baking sheet pan.

Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes more.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before plating and adding some ketchup to the top of the mini meatloaves.
