Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size, to ensure even roasting.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato cubes, then toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy the sweet, spicy, and savory flavors!
