Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet:
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with olive oil spray, ensuring a nonstick surface for the sweet potatoes to roast evenly.
Cube the Sweet Potatoes:
-
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 3/4-inch cubes. This size ensures that the potatoes cook through while achieving a crispy exterior.
Season the Sweet Potatoes:
-
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix until each piece is coated.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
-
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re evenly spaced. This will allow them to roast and brown beautifully without steaming.
Bake:
-
Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes to promote even cooking. Keep an eye on them around the 25-minute mark to prevent burning.
Serve and Enjoy:
-
Once they’re golden brown and crispy around the edges, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Serve warm as a side dish, or let cool slightly and use them as a meal-prep ingredient in salads or grain bowls.
