Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrition.
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size to promote even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well to coat.
Add the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Toss again until the spices are evenly distributed across the sweet potatoes.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of the pieces overlap. This helps them roast evenly and get crispy edges.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the pieces so they cook evenly on all sides.
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are fork-tender.
Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
