Ingredients

2 medium-large white sweet potatoes *see notes for different varieties
3 tablespoons avocado oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon thyme
Fresh chopped herbs for garnish
Flaky salt for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the avocado oil and all the seasonings then toss together until all the potatoes are well coated in the mixture.
Spread out onto the baking sheet in a single even layer.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing and flipping the potatoes at least 3-4 times throughout the process so all the edges get browned and crisp.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs and flaky salt before serving.

Notes

Either the Japanese white sweet potato (purple skin with white flesh) or the Hannah sweet potato (white skin like a regular white potato and white flesh) will work for this recipe.
