Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing gently to remove any dirt.

Step 3

Cut each sweet potato into 1-inch thick rounds or wedges, depending on your preference.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended.

Step 5

Add the sweet potato pieces to the bowl, tossing them to coat evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the sheet.

Step 7

Chop the fresh rosemary finely and sprinkle it over the sweet potatoes.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove from the oven and drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted sweet potatoes.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired and serve warm as a side dish or a light meal.
