- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika optional

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh herbs until evenly coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan for best results.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and optionally sprinkle with additional fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and flip the potatoes halfway through cooking.
