Ingredients

• 4 medium Sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, keeping the peel on for added fiber and nutrients.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the garlic powder, ground cinnamon, ground paprika (if using), black pepper, and sea salt over the sweet potatoes. Toss again to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 6

Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 8

Once the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges, remove them from the oven.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy them as a healthy snack!
