Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the sweet potatoes evenly.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to allow for uniform cooking and crispy edges.
- Toss with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated to infuse flavor.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even roasting.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through to ensure they brown and crisp up on all sides.
- Add garnish and serve: Once roasted to golden brown and crispy edges, remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- Cutting the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces ensures even cooking and consistent texture.
- Flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through roasting helps achieve a crispy exterior on all sides.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to suit your taste preference.
- Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a fresh flavor, but you can omit it if preferred.
