- 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a large bowl, toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until sweet potatoes are golden and tender.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried — double the quantity for a more vibrant flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats, poultry, or grain bowls.
