Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on can add a nice texture.
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and paprika.
Toss everything together until the sweet potato pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown. Stir halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
