Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Dry them with a paper towel.

Step 3

Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick slices or wedges, ensuring they are roughly uniform for even cooking.

Step 4

Place the sweet potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 6

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Once roasted, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack.
