Description

These Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish featuring perfectly seasoned sweet potato cubes roasted to golden brown perfection with a crispy edge. Using simple spices like garlic powder and smoked paprika, along with a touch of cornstarch for extra crunch, this vegan dish is easy to prepare and perfect as a snack or accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)

Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Toss thoroughly until every cube is evenly coated with the seasoning and cornstarch, which helps create a crispy texture when roasted.
  3. Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper air circulation and even roasting.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Roast until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot as a side dish or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the sweet potato cubes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.
  • You can substitute smoked paprika with chili powder or cumin for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are cut evenly to cook uniformly.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
