Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 sweet potatoes
Supporting Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish (Optional):
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for super easy cleanup.
- Peel four medium sweet potatoes and slice them into precise 1-inch cubes, keeping sizes consistent for even roasting.
- Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large mixing bowl and combine with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Drop sweet potato cubes into the seasoning mixture and thoroughly coat each piece, ensuring every cube gets an even layer of spices.
- Arrange cubes in a single, uncrowded layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each potato chunk so they crisp instead of steam.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 425°F oven and roast for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each cube to ensure golden edges on all sides.
- Continue roasting another 10-15 minutes until edges turn deep golden and crispy, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Pull from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if you enjoy an extra herbal touch, then serve immediately while hot and crunchy.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Use a high-temperature oven and spread potatoes in a single layer to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Pat sweet potatoes dry before seasoning to help them get extra crisp and prevent steaming.
- For a flavor boost, experiment with different spice blends like smoked paprika, cumin, or curry powder.
