Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes if desired (the skin is edible and adds texture) and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece for proper roasting.
Step 5
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
Step 6
Check for doneness by piercing a piece with a fork—the sweet potatoes should be tender with lightly crisped edges.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and added flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own as a healthy snack.
