Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Toss the potatoes vigorously until every surface is glistening and evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Spread the potatoes across a prepared baking sheet (with parchment paper or a silicone mat) in a single layer, ensuring the pieces do not touch.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes with a spatula halfway through the cooking time.
  6. Remove from the oven when the edges are mahogany-colored and the centers feel velvety when pierced with a fork.
