Ingredients:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This hot temperature is perfect for getting those sweet potatoes nicely roasted.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. The olive oil not only adds a subtle richness but also helps the spices cling to the potatoes.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they have a little space between them for even cooking. Pop them in the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give them a gentle stir to ensure all sides get a chance to crisp up.
- Check for doneness: The sweet potatoes are ready when they are tender on the inside and crispy on the edges. A quick poke with a fork should tell you if they’re done.
- Serve and enjoy: Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. This dish is delicious on its own or can be paired with a simple salad or steamed greens for a complete meal.
