Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are relatively equal in size for even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the sweet potato cubes and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the spice mix over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss well to ensure each cube is well-coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to flip the cubes for even baking.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack, enjoying the crispy, flavorful bites.
