Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispy texture.

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil. Toss well to ensure all the pieces are coated.

      Mix Spices: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the salt and spicy seasonings to your taste.

        Season Sweet Potatoes: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss again until all the cubes are evenly coated with the spices.

          Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are in a single layer to promote even crispiness.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve your Crispy Spiced Sweet Potato Cubes as a flavorful side dish or snack. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a protein of your choice!
