  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crispy Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for added flavor
  • Optional garnish: extra chopped rosemary or parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil for easy cleanup and crisp roasting.

2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  • Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized cubes for uniform cooking.
  • Transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl.

3. Season the Sweet Potatoes

  • Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes.
  • Add rosemary, garlic powder or minced garlic, salt, pepper, and any optional spices like smoked paprika or chili flakes.
  • Toss well to ensure each cube is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

4. Arrange on the Baking Sheet

  • Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  • For maximum crispiness, flip the pieces so one cut side faces down.

5. Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  • Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning on all sides.
  • Cook until edges are crisp and golden, and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.

6. Garnish and Serve

  • Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Sprinkle with additional chopped rosemary or parsley for a fresh finish.
  • Serve hot and enjoy as a side dish, snack, or part of a roasted vegetable platter.
