Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon optional garnish: chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes. This ensures even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the seasoning blend.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly so that each piece is evenly coated in the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the pieces for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet, flip the sweet potato pieces with a spatula, and return to the oven.
Continue roasting for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. For an optional garnish, sprinkle the roasted sweet potatoes with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack!
