Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create amazing roasted sweet potatoes:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Rinse and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into even cubes (about 1-inch size) for uniform cooking.
3. Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add paprika, garlic powder, and herbs if desired for extra flavor.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Leave some space between the pieces for even roasting.
5. Roast in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 30-45 minutes, flipping halfway through until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
6. Test for Doneness: Check if they are ready by piercing them with a fork. They should be soft inside and slightly crisp on the outside.
7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
