Ingredients
  

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If you’re using maple syrup, drizzle it in as well for added sweetness.

      Toss Ingredients: Toss the mixture until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and herbs.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potato mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan for even roasting.

          Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.

            Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious side dish or add them to salads for a nutritious punch!
