Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 3/4-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove surface moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss vigorously until evenly coated.
  3. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching to prevent steaming.
  4. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan and flip the potatoes with a spatula. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until edges are mahogany-colored and firm.
