Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (6g) sea salt
  • ½ tsp (3g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp (2g) smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp (1g) cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into uniform ½ inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  4. Toss the potatoes vigorously until every cube is glistening and evenly coated in oil and spices.
  5. Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the cubes are not touching to prevent steaming.
  6. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping the cubes with a spatula halfway through the cooking time.
  7. Remove from the oven when the potatoes have a mahogany-colored exterior and are tender when pierced with a fork.
