• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch each, to ensure even roasting.

Step 4

Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat them evenly.

Step 6

Add the black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme to the bowl, tossing the sweet potatoes until they are well coated with the seasoning mix.

Step 7

Arrange the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between the cubes for even roasting.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Stir the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

Step 9

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish them with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
