Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds) sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Gently smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release the flavor but leave them mostly intact. Add the smashed garlic and rosemary sprigs to the mixing bowl and toss again.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the sweet potatoes are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, carefully remove the tray, stir the sweet potatoes for even browning, and return them to the oven.
Continue roasting for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven, discard the rosemary sprigs, and serve hot as a side dish.
