Make perfectly caramelized and tender sweet potato cubes with this simple roasting method. This easy side dish works for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes well and pat them dry. Do not peel them.
  3. Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes. Uniform size helps them cook evenly.
  4. Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl.
  5. Drizzle the olive oil over the cubes. Toss until all pieces are lightly coated.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  7. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss again until the spices distribute evenly.
  8. Spread the seasoned cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote crisping.
  9. Roast for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the sweet potato cubes using a spatula.
  11. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  12. Serve immediately as a savory roasted vegetable side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, toss the cubes with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch before adding the oil and spices.
  • If you prefer a sweeter profile, substitute the garlic powder and paprika with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
  • These cubes reheat well, making them excellent for sweet potato meal prep.
