Gather: @sweet potatoes{1.25-1.5%lb}, @potato starch{4%tsp}, @extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil{2%tbsp}, @ground cumin{1%tsp}, @smoked paprika{0.75%tsp}, @garlic powder{0.5%tsp}, @kosher salt{0.75%tsp}(plus more for finishing), @Freshly cracked black pepper.

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425ºF / 220ºC. Add a rimmed sheet pan to the oven for ~{10%minutes} to heat up.

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and dice into ½-inch (1.3 cm) pieces.

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and potato starch, and toss very well with a silicone spatula. Now add the oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and several cracks of pepper, and toss to combine.

Using oven mitts, remove the hot pan from the oven and carefully line with parchment paper.

Spread the potatoes out on the pan in an even layer with no overlap. Roast for ~{20%minutes}, then flip or toss. Return to the oven and roast for another 15 to 20 minutes, until browned, tender, and charred in spots.

Remove and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt. Allow to rest for a few minutes before eating to further crisp up.

> Storage: Store leftover sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ºF / 175ºC for 8 to 13 minutes until heated through and a bit crispy.
> Nutrition boost: Serve the sweet potatoes with one of the following: (1) a breakfast scramble (Classic Tofu Scramble, High-Protein Tofu Scramble, Indian-Spiced Tofu Scramble , Chickpea “Scramble”); (2) vegan sausage or breakfast patties; (3) in Vegan Breakfast Burritos.
