Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into uniform 1-inch cubes. Pat the cubes completely dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch (if using), smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This prevents the cornstarch from clumping.
Place the dried sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until every piece is lightly and evenly coated. Sprinkle the prepared spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again until well-seasoned.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between the pieces; do not overcrowd the pan. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. They are done when the edges are caramelized and crispy, and the insides are fork-tender.
Remove from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for the best texture.
