Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  3. Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika if using, and the warm garlic butter. Toss thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Arrange Sweet Potatoes: Spread the coated sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet for optimal roasting.
  7. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing the sweet potatoes halfway through to promote even browning.
  8. Check Doneness: After 25-30 minutes, test if the sweet potatoes are tender by poking with a fork and ensure they have a nice golden-brown color. If necessary, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  9. Add Rosemary: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the hot roasted sweet potatoes to infuse herbal aroma.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm as a delicious side or snack.

Notes

  • Make sure sweet potatoes are cut uniformly to ensure even roasting.
  • Smoked paprika is optional but adds a lovely smoky depth to the dish.
  • If fresh rosemary is unavailable, dried rosemary works as a substitute, though fresh is preferred for vibrant flavor.
  • These sweet potatoes can be reheated in an oven or microwave for leftovers.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
