Equipment
- Large rimmed baking sheet
- Large mixing bowl
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or tongs
Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled (optional)
- 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or grated Parmesan, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel sweet potatoes if desired, then cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes for even cooking.
- Place cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread seasoned potatoes on a large, rimmed baking sheet in a single layer without overcrowding. Use two sheets if needed.
- Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and crisp edges.
- Remove from oven once golden and tender. Toss and serve immediately. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Cut sweet potatoes evenly to ensure crisp, uniform roasting. For an extra pop, toss with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar after baking. Want heat? Add a pinch of cayenne. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
