Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, aiming for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper over the sweet potatoes.
Toss the sweet potatoes with clean hands or a spatula, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to promote even browning.
Once the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork, remove them from the oven.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
