Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the sweet potatoes and toss everything together until the cubes are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crisping.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through the cooking time, until the edges are caramelized and the centers are fork-tender.
  7. Serve immediately as your easy side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispy roasted sweet potatoes, ensure the cubes are completely dry before tossing them with oil.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the spice mix.
  • You can swap rosemary and thyme for 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning blend.
