Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Try to make the pieces uniform in size for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cinnamon, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded to ensure proper roasting.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even caramelization.

Step 7

Once the sweet potatoes are tender on the inside and golden and slightly crisp on the outside, remove them from the oven.

Step 8

Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite protein or enjoy them on their own!
