Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes (scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
- Combine the sweet potato cubes, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single, even layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.

- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Choose firm and heavy sweet potatoes for best results. Consider topping with fresh herbs or feta cheese for extra flavor.
