Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Try to make the pieces uniform in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cinnamon, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded to ensure proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender on the inside and golden and slightly crisp on the outside, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite protein or enjoy them on their own!
