Flavorful crispy sweet potato bites are oven-roasted cubes that are tender inside, golden and crispy outside, and seasoned to perfection. They’re a wholesome, addictive side or snack that’s easy to make and endlessly versatile.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into even ½-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cubes with oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  4. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown on the edges.
  6. Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving to allow them to firm up.

Notes

  • For a sweet-savory twist, drizzle with maple syrup before roasting.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
  • Add chili powder and cumin for a smoky BBQ variation.
  • Leave the skin on for extra texture and fiber—just scrub the sweet potatoes well.
  • Reheat in the oven or skillet to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving if possible.
