Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes , peeled if desired and diced into 1-inch cubes (about 3 medium)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil , plus more for serving
- 3 - 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan
- Melted butter or more olive oil , optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Place potatoes in a mound on baking sheet, pour mixture over potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to evenly coat. Spread into an even layer.
- Roast in preheated oven until tender, tossing once halfway through, about 30 minutes total (you can broil during last 1 - 2 minutes near broiler for more golden brown potatoes).
- Remove from oven, drizzle and toss with more olive oil, then immediately sprinkle with parmesan (if you'd like to fully melt the parmesan just return to broiler for about 1 minute). Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the sweet potatoes are distributed evenly on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the sheet, the potatoes will steam instead of roast.
- For more golden brown potatoes, broil them for the last 1 to 2 minutes in the oven.
- If you'd like to fully melt the Parmesan cheese before serving these potatoes, return them to the oven and broil them for 1 minute.
