Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, keeping the skin on for added nutrients and texture.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, rosemary, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer the batata doce assada to a serving platter. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy, compliant snack on your Whole30 journey.
