Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
Seasonings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Black pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the sweet potatoes to a perfect crisp.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them so they roast evenly and get crispy edges.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time to promote even roasting and browning on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted until golden and crispy on the edges, remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
Notes
- For crispier bites, spread sweet potatoes out well and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- You can customize the seasoning by adding cumin, chili powder, or rosemary.
- Sweet potatoes can be roasted in advance and reheated for quick snacks or sides.
- Peeling is optional if you prefer skin-on bites; just ensure to wash thoroughly.
