Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the sweet potato cubes into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, and paprika over the sweet potatoes and toss again to ensure each piece is seasoned.
Chop the fresh rosemary finely and add it to the bowl, tossing one last time to incorporate the herbs evenly.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Once done, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
Serve warm and enjoy as a healthy side dish!
