Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Description
Roasted Sweet Potatoes feature large cubes of peeled sweet potatoes tossed with olive oil and spiced with paprika, salt, and black pepper. They are spread evenly on a baking sheet and roasted at a high temperature until they become tender when pierced with a knife. Turning halfway through roasting allows even caramelization and ensures all sides cook well without burning. The combination of olive oil and spices provides a balanced flavor with a lightly crisp texture on the outside while remaining soft inside.
These roasted sweet potatoes can be served alongside roasted meats, stirred into grain bowls, or cooled and added to salads or wraps for texture and flavor contrast. Their moderate seasoning keeps them versatile for many dishes.
For best results, cut the sweet potato cubes as evenly as possible to ensure uniform cooking and doneness. Flipping them halfway through roasting helps to get consistent color and texture on all sides.
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, large
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the sweet potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with paprika, salt and pepper. Toss the sweet potatoes to make sure they are well coated and then arrange in a single layer.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are knife tender.
Notes
- Cut sweet potato cubes evenly to achieve consistent cooking and avoid some pieces being undercooked or overcooked.
