Description
Discover the subtle sweetness of white sweet potatoes with this simple yet flavorful roasted recipe. Perfect as a versatile side dish that complements almost any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 large white sweet potatoes (Hannah or Japanese variety), about 1.5 lbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and peel the white sweet potatoes (or leave skin on for added texture and nutrients). Cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded. This helps them roast and caramelize rather than steam.
- Roast for 25-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the potatoes are fork-tender and beautifully golden brown and slightly caramelized on the edges.
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish with your favorite main course.
