Roasted sweet potatoes
Method
Roasted sweet potatoes
Preheat and prepare
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Wash and cut
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel if you prefer (peeling is optional). Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes for even roasting. Try to keep pieces uniform in size.
Season
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. If using, finely chop the fresh rosemary and add it to the bowl. Toss well until every piece is lightly and evenly coated.
Arrange on baking sheet
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure pieces are not overcrowded — leave small gaps so they roast rather than steam.
Finish and serve
Remove from oven. If using, drizzle the roasted sweet potatoes with the maple syrup and gently toss to glaze. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot as a side.
