Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing gently to remove any dirt.
Cut each sweet potato into 1-inch thick rounds or wedges, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended.
Add the sweet potato pieces to the bowl, tossing them to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the sheet.
Chop the fresh rosemary finely and sprinkle it over the sweet potatoes.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted sweet potatoes.
Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired and serve warm as a side dish or a light meal.
