PREPARATION
- Preheat The Oven: Set your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a small baking tray with baking paper for easy cleanup.
- Cube The Sweet Potato: Wash and peel the sweet potato. Cut 1/4 of a medium-sized potato into evenly sized small cubes, roughly 1 to 1.5 centimetres in size, for even cooking.
- Season With Oil And Paprika: In a small bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil and a pinch of paprika. Make sure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Arrange And Roast: Spread the seasoned cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Leave space between pieces to allow even roasting.
- Bake Until Golden: Roast in the oven for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping the cubes once halfway through, until they are tender inside and lightly crisp on the outside.

TIPS
- Ensure Even Cubing: Cut sweet potato pieces uniformly to avoid undercooked or overdone bites.
- Don’t Overcrowd The Tray: Use a tray that allows space between cubes for proper roasting.
- Optional Extras: Add a pinch of sea salt or garlic powder for additional depth of flavour.
VARIATIONS
- For More Fibre: Leave the sweet potato skin on for added nutrients and texture.
- Add Protein: Toss the cubes with a few chickpeas before baking for a higher protein snack.
- For Spicier Palates: Swap paprika with smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Sweet Option: Replace paprika with cinnamon and a touch of maple syrup for a dessert-style twist.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Storage In Refrigeration: Cool the sweet potato bites to room temperature, then place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Warm in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius for 5 to 7 minutes until heated through and the edges are re-crisped.
- Freezing Option: Freeze in a single layer on a tray before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. Store for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen for a crispy texture.
