Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 - 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan
  • Melted butter or more olive oil optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, stir together olive oil, garlic, and thyme.
  3. Place potatoes in a mound on a baking sheet, pour the mixture over potatoes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to evenly coat and spread into an even layer.
  4. Roast in preheated oven until tender, tossing once halfway through, about 30 minutes total.
  5. Optional: Broil during the last 1 - 2 minutes for more golden brown potatoes.
  6. Remove from oven, drizzle and toss with more olive oil, then immediately sprinkle with parmesan. Broil for about 1 minute if you want to fully melt the parmesan.
  7. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a fun twist, feel free to swap sweet potatoes for butternut squash or carrots. Add crushed red pepper for a kick or toss in feta cheese for a Mediterranean flair.
