Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
Seasoning
- 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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough to roast the sweet potatoes to a perfect golden crisp.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting and tender results.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning mix.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sweet potato cubes halfway through to brown all sides evenly until they are golden brown and crispy at the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding chili powder for heat or rosemary for an herbal note.
- Cutting sweet potatoes into uniform pieces helps them cook evenly.
- Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
