  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. Toss cubed chicken with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on the other side of the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender.

  6. Assemble bowls with chicken and sweet potatoes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce.
