Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), finely chopped

Optional Toppings

  • Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Avocado slices (optional)

Optional Variations

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for heat
  • Shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese, to toss before roasting
  • Diced bell peppers or spinach, mixed in before roasting
  • Crispy bacon bits or a fried egg for added protein
  • Fresh rosemary or cilantro as alternative herbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel your sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
  2. Season and Toss: Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over them. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Roast to Perfection: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to achieve crisp, golden-brown edges on all sides.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or thyme. Add any optional toppings such as avocado slices or crumbled feta, then serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes uniformly for even roasting and consistent texture.
  • Cook at a high temperature to create crispy edges and tender insides.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
  • Add fresh herbs only after roasting to preserve their vibrant flavor and color.
  • Customize seasoning to your taste or dietary needs, such as using smoked sea salt for more smokiness.
