Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the potatoes. Toss everything together until the cubes are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crispiness.

- Return to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and the centers are tender.
- Serve immediately as a healthy roasted vegetable side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely.
- If you want a sweet flavor, toss the cubes with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup before roasting.
- These sweet potato cubes are excellent for meal prep and can be reheated easily.
