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.
