Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve the crispy texture.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

      Mix Spices: In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.

        Season the Potatoes: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oil-coated sweet potatoes. Toss again until the spices are evenly distributed and all cubes are well seasoned.

          Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not crowded; use two sheets if necessary for a crispier finish.

            Roast the Cubes: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve these crispy spiced sweet potato cubes as a delightful side dish, snack, or appetizer. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor!
