Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 second spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniformly-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size, ensuring even cooking.
Transfer the sweet potato cubes into a large bowl. Lightly spray them with olive oil to coat them uniformly, tossing as needed. This helps the spices adhere without adding excess fat.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato cubes, tossing them to evenly coat each piece.
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none are overlapping for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned, flipping once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot as a healthy side dish.
