Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). For easier cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. Wash, peel, and chop the sweet potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.

3. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with the olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, and onion powder. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
