Description
A delightful side dish featuring crispy roasted sweet potato cubes, perfectly caramelized for a unique balance of sweetness and earthiness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional)
- Garlic powder or onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel (if desired) the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes.
- Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices in a large bowl.
- Spread the cubes on a lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cubes are golden brown and fork-tender.

Notes
For best results, ensure uniformity in cube size and do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Serve hot for the best flavor.
