1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.25 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes.
3. In a large bowl, toss cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili powder if using.
4. Spread the cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces.
5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
6. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan—give the cubes room to roast, not steam.
Feel free to mix up spices: cumin, cinnamon, or chipotle powder add unique twists.
