Description
Seasoned and Roasted Sweet Potatoes are crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with smoky, savory spices. A versatile, nutritious side that easily steals the spotlight at any meal.
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs total)
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub sweet potatoes clean, leaving skin on.
2. Dice sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, keeping pieces uniform.
3. Toss cubes in a large bowl with oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Spread potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer with space between pieces.
5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, then flip or stir for even browning.
6. Return to oven for another 10-15 minutes, until edges are crispy and golden.
7. Remove from oven, let cool briefly, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Dry potatoes thoroughly after washing to avoid sogginess.
Do not overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed.
Reheat leftovers in oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
Flavor variations: Cajun seasoning, maple syrup with cinnamon, rosemary and thyme, or cut into fries instead of cubes.
