Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium/large white sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes and pat them dry. Cut them into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference. Aim for pieces that are roughly 1-inch thick.

  • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, smoked paprika, coriander, salt, and black pepper (if using). Make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  • Spread the seasoned sweet potato pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lead to uneven cooking.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown on the outside. You can check for doneness by piercing a piece with a fork - it should slide in easily.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and enjoy them warm! They can be served as a side dish or enjoyed on their own as a snack.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of spices to your taste preference.
Drizzle the cooked sweet potatoes with fresh lemon or lime juice squeeze for an extra citrusy touch (optional).
For a variation, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives over the roasted sweet potatoes before serving.
