In a large bowl, add the sweet potatoes and red potatoes. Add 2 tsp of olive oil and toss well to coat the potatoes. Spread the potatoes over the baking sheet and roast until the potatoes turn slightly brown, for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally.

In a bowl, toss the onion and red pepper with 1 tsp of olive oil. Stir into the potato mixture and roast for 12-15 mins or until the vegetables are tender.
