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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the sweet potatoes evenly and to get a crispy texture.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and soft interiors with crispy edges.
- Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the flavorful seasoning mixture.
- 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 cooking.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: After roasting, optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve the sweet potatoes warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and easier clean up.
- Flipping halfway through roasting helps achieve crispiness on all sides.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more spices or salt if desired.
- These roasted sweet potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
