Ingredients

Units Scale

Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds small sweet potatoes, scrubbed

Seasoning:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional toppings: sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil Sweet Potatoes: Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Smash Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and use the bottom of a glass or potato masher to gently smash them to about 1/2-inch thick.
  4. Season and Roast: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • You can add Parmesan cheese before roasting for a savory twist.
