Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Printable)

Tender cubes roasted with warm spices until perfectly caramelized and crisp.

# What You Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2.8 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes

→ Seasonings & Oils

02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
04 - 1/2 tsp ground cumin
05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
07 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces are not crowded to promote even caramelization.
04 - Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until golden brown, caramelized at edges, and tender when pierced with a fork.
05 - Serve immediately as a side dish, or incorporate into salads, grain bowls, or tacos.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between tender centers and crispy edges makes these impossible to stop eating
  • They reheat beautifully for meal prep lunches all week long
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan creates steaming instead of roasting, so use two sheets if needed
  • The tossing step matters more than you think, so take your time coating every cube
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent oil from dripping into your oven
  • Let the pan heat up in the oven while you prep for an extra crispy bottom
