- Season the potatoes (3 min): Add the sweet potatoes to a large sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and toss with seasonings. Spread the sweet potatoes out into an even layer, without overlapping. Use two sheet pans if needed. Overcrowding the pan results in steamed potatoes rather than crispy ones.2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika

Notes
Pan: Use a very large sheet pan. The more space the sweet potatoes have, the better they roast. An overcrowded pan results in steamed potatoes rather than crispy roasted potatoes. Use two sheet pans if needed.
Storage: Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 400 until heated through to bring back some of the crisp.
