Sweet Potatoes with Herbs ~

This recipe is using fresh rosemary + thyme from my tiny herb garden. I have used oregano, parsley, chives, garlic, ginger, paprika, chili powder, Italian 'herbs' or "herbes de provence" .. I am sure that I've used others too. 

Ingredients

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes
  • 1-2 tablespoon avocado oil or coconut oil, olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoon fresh Rosemary finely chopped, divided
  • 1-2 teaspoon fresh Thyme chopped
  • Sea Salt + freshly ground Black Pepper to taste.

Instructions

  • Peel the sweet potatoes + slice or dice
  • Place the sliced/chopped sweet potatoes into a plastic bag or zip lock bag
  • Add the oil
  • Holding the bag closed, shake up the bag to coat the sweet potatoes in the oil
  • Slide the taters out of the bag onto a parchment lined baking sheet
  • Sprinkle with most of the finely chopped rosemary (or herb of your choice)
  • (save a little for garnish, just prior to serving)
  • Lightly season with S + P
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes.
  • Use tongs to flip the sweet potatoes + back into the oven.
  • Test for 'done-ness'.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Note: I find that if I make a ½ inch or 1 inch dice, or slice fairly thinly, cooking at this high time does allow for
some crispness.. some 'crispy bits' !
