Classic Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Perfectly caramelized Classic Roasted Sweet Potatoes, seasoned simply and baked until golden—vegan, nutritious, and the easiest way to make vegetables taste like magic.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread potatoes evenly on the baking sheet—don’t overcrowd, they need space to get crispy (like you need space on Mondays).
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender inside.
- Garnish with parsley before serving. Serve hot, enjoy, and pretend you spent hours making them.
