Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for added flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Fresh herbs rosemary or thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a healthy cooking spray.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Keep the skin on for added fiber and nutrients. Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes or wedges. Consistent sizing ensures even cooking.
- In a bowl, combine the olive or avocado oil, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create a flavorful, healthy seasoning blend.
- Add the sweet potato pieces to the bowl with the seasoning mix. Gently toss until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can flip them halfway through the cooking time for uniform browning.
- Once done, remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor and aroma.
- Serve your healthy roasted sweet potatoes as a nutritious side dish to complement your meal. They're a fantastic addition to a balanced diet and provide a satisfying, nutrient-rich option.
