Description
Delightfully caramelized roasted sweet potatoes that elevate any meal with their savory, sweet flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot, ready for roasting your sweet potatoes to perfection.
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Aim for about 1-inch pieces; this makes for an even roast and allows those edges to caramelize beautifully.
- Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Giving them space ensures they roast rather than steam, achieving that coveted crunchy texture.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors!
