Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl.

Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat them evenly.

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 6

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss again until the cubes are evenly seasoned.

Step 7

Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven and flip the sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
