Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (yams) peeled and cut into 1 1/2-2 inch chunks
- 2 large sweet onions (Maui, Walla Walla or Vidalia), cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves removed from sprigs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt if salt sensitive use less to taste
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes NOTE: if spice sensitive start with 1/2 tsp and add more to taste
Instructions
- Place baking sheet into the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place all ingredients into a large bowl and toss to combine, making sure all the potatoes and onions are evenly and lightly covered with oil and seasonings.
- Use hot pads to carefully remove the heated baking sheet from the oven. Spread the vegetable mixture out onto the tray in an even layer, making sure all potatoes are touching the surface of the tray. Careful not to burn your hands on the tray!
- Place tray back into the oven and let the vegetables roast for 20 minutes. Stir the vegetables and continue to roast for 10-20 more minutes or until they are tender inside and browned/crisp on the outside. Serve warm.
