Equipment

  • Heavy Duty Baking Sheet This is an essential for all my roasted veggie recipes. It doesn't bend or warp in the oven!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (2 to 3 potatoes) cut into ½ inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C). Peel the potatoes (if you'd like) and cut into ½-inch cubes.
  • Add the oil, cumin, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper to the sweet potatoes. Use your hands to toss everything together until it's well mixed.
  • Arrange the sweet potato in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure there's space in between the cubes.
  • Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the potatoes half way through to ensure all sides are cooked through.

Notes

  • If you'd like the roasted sweet potatoes to have a stronger flavor, simply double the seasoning. 
  • Always use a strong, heavy duty baking sheet. It won't warp or bend in the oven.
  • This is a great recipe to meal prep for fall. Check out my Fall Meal Prep video for more ideas!
