Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling your sweet potatoes, or scrub them if you prefer the skin on.
  2. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes, keeping the sizes consistent.
Preheat Oven
  1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat.
Seasoning
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Toss everything together to ensure even coating on each cube.
Arrange on Baking Sheet
  1. Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  2. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
Roast
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Serve
  1. Serve the roasted sweet potatoes immediately while they are still warm.

Notes

Cut your cubes evenly for consistent cooking. Don't overcrowd the pan for best crispiness.
