Slice the sweet potatoes crosswise into ½-inch rounds, then cut into ½-inch cubes.
1 pound sweet potatoes
Place the sweet potato cubes in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss well with your hands to coat.
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper
Spread out the cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (Do not overcrowd the pan. The sweet potato cubes won't get crispy unless they are in a single layer with room around them.)
Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes until fork tender and lightly browned on the outside, flipping the sweet potatoes every 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
