These Roasted Purple Sweet Potatoes are not only visually stunning with their vibrant color but also incredibly delicious! With a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, they make a perfect side dish, snack, or even a main course when paired with your favorite protein.
Ingredients:
4 medium purple sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the potatoes: Place the cubed purple sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Roast the potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
For extra crispiness: Roast at a higher temperature (425°F) and ensure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer to avoid steaming.
Add a twist: Drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with feta cheese for more flavor.
Make it a meal: Pair with grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu for a complete dish.
