Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
2 lbs of sweet potatoes (choose Red Garnet or Jewel yams)
02 -
2 tbsp avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil
03 -
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
04 -
¾ tsp of kosher or sea salt, or ½ tsp table salt
05 -
½ tsp garlic powder
06 -
½ tsp chili powder
07 -
¼ tsp black pepper
08 -
½ tsp ground cinnamon
09 -
½ tsp paprika
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 425°F and get a big baking pan (15x21) ready by lining it with parchment paper. Two smaller sheets work too.
02 -
Peel off the skins and chop the sweet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. If it wobbles, trim a thin piece from the base to steady it, then slice into ½-inch rounds before cubing.
03 -
Lay the cubes on the pan and mix them with your olive oil, maple syrup (if using), and all the spices.
04 -
Make sure the sweet potato chunks are in a single layer with nothing overlapping or crowding.
05 -
Bake at 425°F for about 25-35 minutes. Flip those cubes halfway through at the 15-minute mark.
# Notes:
01 -
You can skip the maple syrup if you'd like.

Works great if made in advance.
