Description

Roasted until golden and crisp, these sweet potato cubes crackle with a smoky paprika-kissed crust. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds bright herb notes, making each bite a satisfying blend of warmth, crunch, and subtle sweetness.


Ingredients

  • 500 g sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 2 cm cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the cubes and roast for an additional 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the potatoes will steam instead of crisping.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven or air fryer to restore their crisp texture.
