These perfectly roasted sweet potatoes are a simple yet flavorful side dish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of natural sweetness. A staple for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash, peel, and chop 2 large sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Ensure all pieces are lightly coated.
Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Toss again until well combined.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, as this can steam the potatoes instead of roasting them. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the sweet potatoes with a spatula. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and have caramelized edges.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
