Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Toss the potatoes thoroughly until every surface is glistening with oil.
  4. Spread the potatoes across the pan in a single layer, ensuring no cubes are overlapping to allow for maximum airflow.
  5. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan and flip the potatoes using a spatula to ensure even browning on all sides.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until edges are visibly browned and centers are tender.
  8. Let the potatoes sit on the pan for 2–3 minutes to allow the exterior to firm up before serving.
