Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds white sweet potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy exterior.
Wash and peel the white sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded; this ensures they roast instead of steam.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and fork-tender. Toss halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm, and enjoy!
