Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to clean any dirt. Do not peel them as the skin contains valuable nutrients.
Step 3
Cut the sweet potatoes into even, bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with extra-virgin olive oil to coat them well.
Step 5
Chop the fresh rosemary finely and add it to the sweet potatoes along with garlic powder, black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, and lemon zest. Mix well until all sweet potato pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not too crowded for optimal roasting.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Once done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy batata assada no forno as a side dish or a nutritious snack.
