Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into uniform 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Toss the potatoes thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until every face of every cube is evenly coated in oil and seasoning.
  4. Spread the potatoes onto a large rimmed half-sheet pan in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch to allow for maximum air circulation.
  5. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven, flip the potatoes with a spatula, and roast for another 15 minutes until the edges are mahogany-colored and the centers are soft.
