Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes ((Red Garnet or Jewel yams))
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup ((optional))
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt or kosher salt (OR ½ tsp table salt)
  • 1/2 tsp EACH chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a LARGE 15×21 baking sheet with parchment paper (or use two half sheets).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into ½-inch pieces. To cut: If your sweet potato is wobbly, cut a thin sliver off the bottom to stabilize it. Next, cut the sweet potato into equal 1/2-inch rounds. Lay the rounds flat and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Smaller rounds will be cut in half lengthwise and then cut in the other direction 1-2 more times. Larger rounds will be cut in half lengthwise, then cut in the other direction 2-3 more times depending on the size. The cubes will not be perfectly even due to the round shape.
  3. Add the cubes to the baking sheet and toss evenly with the olive oil, maple syrup, and spices.
  4. Line the potatoes in a single layer so they aren't touching each other.
  5. Roast at 425°F for 25-35 minutes, tossing the sweet potatoes at 15 minutes.
