Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into even rounds or cubes, about 1-inch thickness. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In the bowl with the sweet potatoes, drizzle in olive oil and honey, then sprinkle on cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between them for better roasting.
  5. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, checking halfway through and tossing for even cooking. They should be tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
