Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil , or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with seasonings and oil and transfer to the prepared baking sheet in one single layer.
  • Leave some space between each piece so they can crisp up nicely.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the potatoes are tender through the center and edges are lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and serve as a side dish with your favorite main course, in tacos, chili, salad and burrito bowls. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure your oven is thoroughly preheated before placing your pan inside. The high oven temperature is essential for achieving a delightful crispiness on the exterior of your sweet potatoes.
  • Properly space out the sweet potato cubes on your baking sheet. If they are too close together, the hot air won't circulate evenly around them, potentially leading to uneven crispiness.
  • Try to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized small cubes for even cooking in the oven. 
  • To Store. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. 
  • Freezing. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers as the potatoes will lose their texture after thawing. It is best to freeze raw potato cubes.
  • To Reheat. Reheat in the oven or air fryer, no need to add more oil
