Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly-sized wedges or cubes, depending on preference.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the sweet potatoes in the seasoned olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a simple meal on their own.
