Herb-Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Crispy, aromatic Herb-Roasted Sweet Potatoes with fresh herbs, olive oil, and garlic—vegan, easy, and perfect for cozy dinners or fancy brunches.
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

- In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet—crowded potatoes = steamed potatoes (we want crisp, not sad).
