Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that crispy texture.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

      Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Make sure there is space between the pieces to promote even crispiness.

        Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through for even cooking. The sweet potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside when done.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.

            Enjoy: These Crispy Spiced Sweet Potato Cubes make a fantastic side dish, snack, or even a topping for salads!
