Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and sea salt. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown on the edges.
Step 6
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and drizzle them with the BBQ sauce. Use a spatula to gently toss them, ensuring each piece is coated in sauce.
Step 7
Return the tray to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to allow the BBQ sauce to caramelize slightly.
Step 8
After removing from the oven, let the BBQ potatoes cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving dish.
Step 9
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy BBQ potatoes with your favorite main dish or as a standalone treat!
