Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Perfectly Seasoned)
Description
The sweet potato cubes are tossed in avocado or extra virgin olive oil along with ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Arranged in a single layer on a sturdy baking sheet, they roast at 425°F for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once to promote even browning and caramelization. The spices give warmth and depth complementing the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
The texture is tender inside with some crisp and caramelized edges for contrast. These seasoned sweet potatoes fit well with fall meal prep plans or as a simple addition to everyday dinners, providing a balance of flavor and nutrition.
Doubling the seasoning increases the intensity for those who prefer a bolder taste. Using a heavy-duty baking sheet prevents warping and ensures consistent roasting results.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potato cut into ½ inch cubes, 2 to 3 potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C). Peel the potatoes (if you'd like) and cut into ½-inch cubes.
- Add the oil, cumin, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper to the sweet potatoes. Use your hands to toss everything together until it's well mixed.
- Arrange the sweet potato in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure there's space in between the cubes.
- Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the potatoes half way through to ensure all sides are cooked through.
Notes
- Double the seasoning amounts for a stronger flavor on the sweet potatoes.
- Use a heavy-duty baking sheet to avoid warping during roasting.
