Ingredients

  • sweet potatoes)

    peeled and chopped into ½ inch cubes (about 6 cups

    2 lb
  • olive oil
    3 tbsp
  • salt
    1 tsp
  • ground black pepper
    ½ tsp
  • paprika
    ½ tsp
  • garlic powder
    ½ tsp
  • ground cumin
    ¼ tsp
  • onion powder
    ¼ tsp

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.

The exterior will be slightly crisp and caramelized, yielding to a wonderfully soft and creamy interior. This appetizer is designed to be straightforward and rewarding, making it an accessible dish for any home cook looking to impress without fuss. Each serving is a satisfying 291 calories, making it a flavorful yet mindful choice.

Customization & Variations

Feel free to adjust the spice blend to match your palate. For a little more smoky depth, you could add a pinch more paprika, or for extra warmth, increase the cumin slightly. If you prefer a milder flavor, simply reduce the quantities of the stronger spices like garlic powder or onion powder. While olive oil is specified, you can swap it for another neutral-flavored oil like avocado oil if preferred.

Serve these roasted sweet potatoes as a vibrant appetizer at your next gathering or as a comforting, flavorful side dish alongside your favorite main course. Their beautiful color and enticing aroma make for an appealing presentation.
