Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 second spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniformly-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size, ensuring even cooking.
Step 3
Transfer the sweet potato cubes into a large bowl. Lightly spray them with olive oil to coat them uniformly, tossing as needed. This helps the spices adhere without adding excess fat.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato cubes, tossing them to evenly coat each piece.
Step 6
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none are overlapping for even roasting.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned, flipping once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot as a healthy side dish.
