Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the sweet potatoes to a perfect golden color.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes carefully and slice them into 1-inch thick pieces for even cooking and ideal texture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes, olive oil, melted butter, kosher salt, coarse black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a sheet pan, ensuring they have room to roast evenly without overcrowding.
  5. Roast First Half: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes to start softening and browning the sweet potatoes.
  6. Flip and Continue Roasting: After 30 minutes, flip the sweet potato slices to promote even cooking and roast for an additional 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  7. Finish with Parsley: Once roasted, remove from the oven and toss the sweet potatoes with fresh minced parsley and an optional drizzle of extra olive oil for a bright, fresh flavor boost.

Notes

  • For a more intense garlic flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh minced garlic.
  • You can substitute fresh parsley with fresh thyme or rosemary for a different herbaceous taste.
  • Sweet potatoes can be cut into cubes instead of slices, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Ensure the sweet potatoes are spread out in a single layer to prevent steaming.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
