Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 cutting board and knife

Ingredients

  • 4-5 medium purple sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil + more when serving if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking tray with foil for easy cleanup and set aside.
  • Peel and cube the purple sweet potatoes into equal sized pieces, about 1-2” in size. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the cumin, turmeric, chili powder and salt. Drizzle on the olive oil and stir to coat each piece of potato evenly.
  • Spread the potatoes in an even layer on the baking tray and place in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning them at the halfway point to ensure even cooking. (test at min. 20 to see if fork tender, smaller will take less time)
  • Remove, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and flaked sea salt.
