Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel 2-3 medium sweet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to form a spice mix.
  4. Place the sweet potato cubes into the bowl with the seasoning. Toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the seasoned sweet potato cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning.
  7. Use a fork to test the sweet potatoes—if they pierce easily, they’re ready. For extra crispy edges, leave them in for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro on top for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
