Ingredients
3 Large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 Cloves garlic, minced finely
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes for even roasting. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow the potatoes to crisp rather than steam. If you prefer, add a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra depth of flavor.
