Easy Roast Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic
Description
This recipe calls for sweet potatoes cut into 1cm cubes, generously coated with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting at a high oven temperature. After 15 minutes, crushed garlic and chopped rosemary are added, and the potatoes are turned to evenly distribute the flavors and continue roasting, allowing the garlic aroma and rosemary’s herbal notes to infuse the cubes.
The final result is golden roasted sweet potatoes with tender centers, a slight crispness on the outside from roasting, and pronounced herbal and garlicky flavors. These fit well with a roast dinner or as a side with grilled meats or vegetables, serving as a versatile accompaniment.
It is important to spread the sweet potato cubes out in a single layer to avoid steaming, which reduces roasting effectiveness. The dish can be frozen if desired, and nutrition information is approximate.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato chopped into 1cm / ½inch cubes, large, roughly 500g / 1lb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 prigs rosemary leaves only, chopped finely
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or grated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Place the sweet potato cubes on a large non-stick baking tray, drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper.
- Turn the sweet potato cubes to coat them evenly in the oil, then ensure the cubes are well spread out (use 2 baking sheets if necessary) and in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle over with the garlic and rosemary. Turn the cubes to get them all coated in the rosemary and garlic. Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
- Serve as part of a roast dinner or with burgers, chicken, fish or anything you usually serve with chips (fries)!
Notes
- Ensure sweet potato cubes are spread out in a single layer to promote roasting rather than steaming.
- This dish freezes well for later use.
