Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450℉ and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
Arrange them on the baking sheet in one single layer and top with rosemary.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes.
Take the baking sheet out of the oven and flip the sweet potatoes using a spatula. Return them to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes until they're golden and caramelized.
Transfer to a serving plate and top with more rosemary and pomegranate arils.

Notes

Get the Perfect Caramelization: Roast sweet potatoes at a high temperature such as 450°F to ensure tender inside and caramelized outside.
Customize the Texture: For extra crispy sweet potatoes, roast them for 5 more minutes at the end. If you prefer a softer texture, cover the baking sheet loosely with foil while roasting.
No Peeling Needed: The sweet potato skin is edible and crisps up beautifully when roasted. If you prefer to keep the skin on, just wash and scrub thoroughly the sweet potatoes.
Don’t Overlap: Arrange the sweet potato cubes in a single layer and ensure they’re not overlapping and the baking sheet is not too crowded so the air can circulate and caramelize the vegetables.
Coat with Olive oil: Use a good amount of olive oil and make sure every sweet potato cube is coated with the olive oil. This will guarantee a nice color, flavor, and texture.
