Recipe of the Week 11/15: Herbed Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Yields 4 Servings: 

Ingredients 

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 3-4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3/4 tsp salt, I use Himalayan salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp chili pepper flakes 

Instructions: 

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Cut the sweet potatoes into 1" chunks and place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients, except for the parsley, in a small measuring cup or mixing bowl and whisk vigorously with a fork until well combined. Pour over the cubed sweet potatoes and toss gently until evenly coated.
• Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer onto a dark roasting pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until tender and golden brown, stirring once about halfway through cooking.
• Sprinkle with a handful of chopped parsley, if desired, and serve.
