# List of Ingredients:
→ Vegetables
01 - 4 medium sweet potatoes (approximately 1.75 lbs), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
→ Seasonings & Oils
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
02 - Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then add smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
03 - Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure ample space between pieces—overcrowding will cause steaming instead of roasting, preventing proper caramelization.
04 - Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the cubes once halfway through cooking. The sweet potatoes are done when edges are golden-brown and caramelized, while the centers remain tender when pierced with a fork.
05 - Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These roasted sweet potatoes pair excellently with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a component in vegetarian meals, salads, grain bowls, and tacos.
