Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spice preference)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving that delightful crispy texture on the sweet potato bites.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed sweet potatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them thoroughly to ensure each cube is evenly coated in the oil, which will help the spices adhere better.

      Mix the Spices: In a separate small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create an even spice blend.

        Season the Potatoes: Sprinkle the mixed spices generously over the oil-coated sweet potato cubes in the mixing bowl. Toss again until all the cubes are well-seasoned and coated in the flavorful spice mix.

          Arrange for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and arrange the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer. Ensure the cubes are not overcrowded; if necessary, use a second baking sheet to allow for better crisping.

            Roast the Cubes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the sweet potato bites halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

              Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the sweet potato bites from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes to set their crunchiness. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.

                Enjoy: These spicy, crispy sweet potato bites make for a delightful side dish, a tasty snack, or an irresistible appetizer. They pair wonderfully with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
