Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss again until the cubes are evenly seasoned.
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven and flip the sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking.
Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
