Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • 2-3 pounds sweet potatoes
  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the oil, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and fresh herbs until well combined.

  3. 3

    Scrub clean, peel (optional), and dice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Add them to the bowl and toss until all the cubes are well coated in the seasoned oil.

  4. 4

    Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd them—give each piece space to crisp up.

  5. 5

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes to ensure even browning. Roast until the edges are crispy and caramelized and the centers are tender.

  6. 6

    Once roasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley or additional herbs over the top. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
