Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the cilantro and parsley.

In a small skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 8

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Stir in the red chili flakes, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

Remove the skillet from heat and set aside the spice mixture.

Step 11

Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, transfer them back to the large mixing bowl.

Pour the spice mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
