Ingredients
- 2 medium* sweet potatoes, cubed
- 2 ½ tsp avocado oil (see notes for oil-free)
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (omit for less heat)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and use the convection setting if you have it to speed cook time and help crisp up the potatoes. Also, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add cubed sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl and top with avocado oil (see notes for oil-free), maple syrup, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and caramelized on the edges.
- Use immediately, or store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Add to dishes cold, or heat in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven or on the stovetop in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Notes
- *If oil-free, omit oil and use slightly more maple syrup. Optionally, you could also add a bit of nut butter of choice, such as almond butter, for an oil-like effect. Or, simply omit the oil. The potatoes won’t be quite as tender or caramelized, but they’ll still be good! *Medium potatoes measure 5 inches long and 2 inches wide.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
- 5 inches long and 2 inches wide.
