Description

Crispy, herby, and full of bold flavor, these savory roasted sweet potatoes are the perfect side for any meal. Easy to prep and loved by all.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Optional: rosemary, chili flakes, balsamic vinegar


Instructions

1. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

2. Optional: soak in cold water for 30 minutes for crispier texture, then dry thoroughly.

3. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and salt until well coated.

4. Spread cubes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Roast at 425°F for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through.

6. Finish with fresh rosemary or balsamic if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Soaking the sweet potatoes helps reduce starch and boosts crispiness.

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even roasting.

Great paired with creamy sauces or fresh herbs for serving.
