Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss to coat completely.
Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper to the sweet potatoes. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between pieces to allow for proper roasting.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing a piece with a fork—it should be tender with lightly caramelized edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack!
