Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
Seasonings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s sufficiently hot for roasting the sweet potatoes evenly for a crispy exterior and soft interior.
- Toss Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This allows for proper roasting and crisping of each bite.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through the cooking time. Roast until the edges turn golden and crispy, and the insides become tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the sweet potato bites from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Feel free to add other seasonings like cumin or chili powder to customize the flavor.
- These bites are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
- Adjust the size of the cubes to control cooking time; smaller cubes cook faster and become crisper.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the other spices.
