Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Aluminum foil (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Check for doneness; they should be fork-tender and slightly crispy. Roast for an additional 5-10 minutes if needed.
  7. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  8. Serve warm as a side dish or a hearty snack.
