Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Crispy Tip: Make sure the potato cubes are completely dry after washing before tossing with oil for maximum crispiness.
Flavor Twist: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Variations: Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup during the last 5 minutes for a glaze.
