A simple and flavorful recipe for roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned with spices for crispy edges and caramelization.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground chili powder

- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
