Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet A large, rimmed baking sheet is best.
  • 1 Large Bowl

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single, even layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy and caramelized on the outside.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For Extra Crispy Potatoes: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the potatoes and do not overcrowd the pan.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
