Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
Seasoning and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking and optimal texture.
- Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and helps with easy cleanup.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Flip the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the spices to your preference, adding more or less cinnamon or paprika.
- For extra crispiness, ensure the sweet potatoes are spread out and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain their crisp texture.
- Fresh parsley is optional but adds a nice visual and flavor boost.
