Ingredients

2 Sweet potatoes medium
2 tbsp Thyme fresh and chopped
1 tbsp Garlic minced
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Olive oil or less
1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes if desired. I often leave the skin on after a good scrub because it adds texture and extra nutrients.
3. Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized ¾-inch cubes and transfer them to a large bowl.
4. Add chopped thyme, olive oil, and salt, and mix it together, covering every piece of the sweet potatoes.
5. Place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spread into a single layer, leaving space between each cube. Roast for 15 minutes.
7. Flip the potatoes. Roast another 15 minutes until deeply caramelized and fork-tender.
8. Serve immediately.
