Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Use a sharp knife to cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring consistent sizing for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will result in steaming rather than roasting.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, and use a spatula to flip the sweet potatoes to ensure even browning.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, finely chop the fresh rosemary. Ensure you discard the tough stems and use only the leaves.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, immediately sprinkle the chopped rosemary over them and toss gently to distribute.
Serve the roasted sweet potatoes warm as a delightful and healthy side dish that's fully compliant with Whole30 guidelines.
