Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Bites
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the sweet potato cubes to a crispy texture.
- Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until each cube is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there is space between them to avoid overcrowding, which helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Flip the cubes halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the sweet potato bites before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes for even cooking.
- You can add other seasonings like cumin or chili powder for different flavor profiles.
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are spread out well to avoid steaming.
- For extra crispiness, you can roast a little longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
- These bites make a great healthy snack or side dish.
