Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes, about 1 inch.
- Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes.
- Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika over the sweet potatoes.
- Toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with oil and spices.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure there's some space between each piece for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the sweet potatoes once halfway through the cooking time, until they are fork-tender and golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from oven and transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish.
- Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as a snack.
Tips:
- For even cooking, cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces. This ensures that all pieces roast at the same rate and none are over or undercooked.
- Be sure to spread the sweet potato pieces out on the baking sheet in a single layer, without overcrowding. This helps them roast rather than steam, giving you a crispier texture.
- Consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of the spices and sweet potatoes.
- You can mix the spices and olive oil in a large bowl, then toss the sweet potatoes to evenly coat them before spreading them on the baking sheet.
- Experiment with additional spices or herbs, such as cumin, thyme, or rosemary, to customize the dish to your taste preferences.
- Checking the potatoes halfway through cooking and flipping them can help achieve even browning on all sides.
Once you try these spiced roasted sweet potatoes, they are sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Their delightful flavor and simple preparation make them a go-to recipe for both busy weeknights and special occasions.
