Units Scale

    Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Garlic Butter Mixture:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Garnish:

  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Roast sweet potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
