1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
- Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder with the paprika.
For a sweet-savory twist, drizzle a little honey over the roasted sweet potatoes before serving.
Fresh thyme or rosemary can replace parsley for additional flavor.
For extra crispiness, broil the sweet potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting.
