Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika (if using), and the melted garlic butter. Toss to coat evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden-brown and fork-tender.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh rosemary and parsley, then serve warm.
