Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra nutrition, or peel them if preferred.
Slice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Lightly spray with olive oil spray, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss gently to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the sweet potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing a few cubes with a fork. They should be tender with slightly caramelized edges.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a nutritious snack. Enjoy!
