Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to clean off any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Mix well.
Add the sweet potato cubes into the bowl and toss them well to evenly coat with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there's space between them to prevent overcrowding, which helps them roast rather than steam.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crisped on the edges. Stir or flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added touch of flavor and color.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack.
