You may have seen these Roasted Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes…it’s one of my most popular recipes! And since then, I’ve been hooked on sheet pan roasted sweet potatoes. And by roasted, I mean “loaded with flavor” sweet potatoes.

I’ve never really liked sweet potatoes growing up, unless it was smothered in brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Definitely not the healthiest, but oh-so good! But, other than that, I wouldn’t touch sweet potatoes with a ten foot pole.

How to Make Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes in the Oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and get your large baking pan out. Coat it with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add in the diced sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
4. Spread the potatoes in an even layer onto your baking pan, then pop them in the oven to bake until they’re lightly browned and crispy.
5. Remove the pan from the oven and let the crispy sweet potatoes cool for 5 minutes. Then sprinkle them with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately!

How Long to Bake Sweet Potato Cubes:

These savory roasted sweet potatoes need to cook at 400°F for 32 to 35 minutes.

Recipe Variations to Try:

• Try different seasonings! There are a lot of different herb blends out there, or stick with something classic like rosemary or thyme.
• Switch up the garlic powder for fresh minced garlic! Use 3 to 4 cloves of garlic (depending on their size).
• Try using a flavored olive oil instead of plain olive oil! Fun options to try would be rosemary, tuscan herb, or hot pepper.
• If you want to bring a little heat to these roasted sweet potatoes, add in half a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper.

Can I Prep Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes in Advance? 

If you need to make these ahead of time, you could cube the sweet potatoes and then toss with some olive oil and refrigerate until ready to season and cook. I would only do this up to a day in advance, though.

You could also cook the savory sweet potatoes ahead of time and reheat them just before serving, but you might lose some of the crispness that way.
