Equipment
- Glass casserole dish
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes (about 2–3 large sweet potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/3 cup olive oil (just enough to coat the sweet potatoes)
- 1 head garlic, minced (about 12–15 cloves)
- 1 medium onion, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F. High heat is key for those crispy edges.
- Season the sweet potatoes: Place the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in a glass casserole dish. Sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, pepper, salt, and paprika. Drizzle with olive oil (about 1/3 cup) to coat everything evenly.
- Toss and roast: Use your hands to toss the sweet potatoes, coating them in the oil and seasonings. Roast in the oven for 55–65 minutes, stirring every 15–20 minutes for even browning. The edges should be crispy but not burned!
- Caramelize the garlic and onions: When the sweet potatoes have about 15 minutes left, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden brown.
- Combine and serve: When the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Stir in the caramelized onion and garlic mixture. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
To customize, try switching the seasonings, adding protein like bacon or sausage, or tossing in other veggies like bell peppers or zucchini. For extra flavor, garnish with fresh parsley or feta cheese before serving.
