Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds small to medium sweet potatoes

Seasoning:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish:

  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil Sweet Potatoes: Boil the sweet potatoes whole in salted water for about 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.
  3. Smash Potatoes: Transfer sweet potatoes to the baking sheet and gently smash each one until about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Season and Roast: Mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the sweet potatoes with the seasoned oil. Roast for 25–30 minutes until crispy.
  5. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with parsley and flaky sea salt if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the sweet potatoes for the last 2–3 minutes.
  • These pair well with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
