Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Scrub the sweet potatoes, peel them, and cut them into equal cubes between ¾- to 1-inch wide.
- Add the sweet potato cubes to a mixing bowl, then pour in the olive oil and add the dry seasonings. Stir to coat the sweet potatoes evenly with the oil and seasonings.Pour all onto a large baking sheet (or two), taking care to arrange potatoes in a single layer.
- Pour out the seasoned sweet potatoes onto a large rimmed sheet pan, using two pans if needed so that each potato cube has a bit of space around it. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden-browned around the edges, flipping the potatoes halfway through.
Notes
Ingredient Notes
Oil: Melted ghee is another good option to use here. You can also go with a neutrally-flavored, higher-heat friendly oil such as grapeseed and canola oils.
Salt: If using table salt, consider reducing the amount used to a heaping quarter-teaspoon.
Seasonings: Do adjust the seasonings as you like, both the ones used and their quantities.
Recipe Notes
- Use your largest rimmed sheet pan for this recipe as you don't want to crowd the pan and risk the sweet potato cubes steaming and not roasting up nice and golden-brown. If you don't have a large enough pan, split up the potatoes between two pans and switch the oven racks they're on when you flip the potatoes halfway through cook time.
