### Instructions

1. **Prepare the Sweet Potatoes**: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes (optional). Cut them into even cubes or wedges, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
2. **Season**: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (or any other spices you’re using).
3. **Roast**: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. **Check for Tenderness**: Once golden and tender, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with fresh herbs, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cheese.
5. **Serve**: Serve immediately as a side dish, snack, or in a salad bowl.

### Tips for Success

1. **Cut Evenly**: To ensure even cooking, cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes or wedges. This helps them cook at the same rate.
2. **Preheat the Oven**: Always preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before roasting to get the perfect caramelization.
3. **Use a Baking Sheet**: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will cause them to steam rather than roast, preventing them from crisping up.
4. **Flip Halfway**: Turn the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
5. **Test for Doneness**: Insert a fork or skewer to check tenderness. It should go in easily when the potatoes are fully cooked.
