Ingredients
  

Sweet Potato Base
  • cups sweet potatoes cubed
Seasoning
  • tbsp olive oil
  • tsp paprika
  • tsp garlic powder
  • tsp salt
  • tsp black pepper
Optional Toppings
  • cup feta cheese crumbled
  • tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • tbsp lemon juice

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add cubed sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle seasoning and toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
  4. Spread in a single layer to encourage crispy edges during roasting.
  5. Roast until golden outside and soft inside, stirring halfway for even texture.
  6. Top with optional toppings and serve warm for best flavor and balance.

Notes

Roast longer for crispier edges or less for softer texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Freeze cooked portions and reheat in oven for best results. Adjust spices for flavor variation. Store leftovers refrigerated up to four days and reheat gently.
