Preparation & baking:
We start by preheating the oven to 180°C then line a baking tray/sheet with parchment/baking paper. As the oven is preheating, peel the sweet potatoes then cut them in cubes. Make sure they are almost similar in size for better baking.
Next, spread them on the lined baking sheet then add in the cooking oil, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toss till the sweet potatoes are well coated with the spices then spread the cubes into one even layer. Make sure the sweet potato cubes are spaced out and not touching one another or they will steam and not roast.
Bake for 15 minutes, toss then another 7-10 minutes keeping an eye on them so that they do not burn.
Once they are done roasting, remove from oven. Sprinkle with the sea salt then serve while hot as a side or even for breakfast.
