Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scrub the orange sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  3. Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
  4. Season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and any preferred dried herbs like rosemary or thyme.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving hot as a side dish.
