Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, ground cumin, ground coriander, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Meanwhile, zest the lemon and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, transfer them back to the mixing bowl.
Add the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and the chopped parsley. Toss all ingredients together gently.
Transfer the seasoned sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or on its own.
