Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the cubes roughly the same size for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them to ensure each cube is evenly coated with oil.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried thyme over the sweet potatoes. Toss again until the cubes are evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded, which helps them to roast evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring 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 before serving. These sweet potato cubes are perfect as a side dish or salad topping.
