To bake cubed sweet potatoes at 400°F, the typical recommended time is about 25 to 30 minutes. The cubes should be spread out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and tossed with oil, salt, and pepper before baking. It is important to flip or toss the sweet potatoes halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and crispiness on all sides
. More specifically:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Toss 1-inch sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- The sweet potatoes should be fork-tender and caramelized when done.
Some sources suggest baking up to 35-40 minutes for slightly smaller cubes or to achieve more caramelization, but 25-30 minutes is the standard range for 1-inch cubes at 400°F
. In summary, baking cubed sweet potatoes at 400°F typically takes about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for best results.
