Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrition.
Step 3
Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size to promote even cooking.
Step 4
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well to coat.
Step 5
Add the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Toss again until the spices are evenly distributed across the sweet potatoes.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of the pieces overlap. This helps them roast evenly and get crispy edges.
Step 7
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip the pieces so they cook evenly on all sides.
Step 8
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are fork-tender.
Step 9
Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
