Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary, optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes, keeping the pieces uniform to promote even roasting.
  3. Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder if using, and dried thyme if using. Mix thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly with the seasoning.
  4. Roast: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Serve: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve warm as a tasty side dish.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
  • Garlic powder and thyme are optional but add great depth of flavor.
  • Make sure the sweet potato cubes are cut evenly for uniform roasting.
  • Stirring halfway through roasting prevents burning and promotes even cooking.
  • This recipe is easily doubled or halved depending on your needs.
