Ingredients

  • 2 lbssweet potatoes (peeled and chopped into ½ inch cubes (about 6 cups))
  • 3 tbspolive oil
  • 1 tspsalt
  • ½ tspground black pepper
  • ½ tsppaprika
  • ½ tspgarlic powder
  • ¼ tspground cumin
  • ¼ tsponion powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier clean up.

  2. 2

    Wash, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. They should be the same size so that they cook evenly. This should give you about 6 cups worth.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Drizzle 3 Tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp ground black pepper, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp ground cumin, and ¼ tsp onion powder over the sweet potatoes. Toss the ingredients together evenly.

  4. 4

    Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the oven to bake at 425°F for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The sweet potatoes will have crispy edges but still be tender inside when they’re done.
