Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped into similarly sized pieces as potatoes
Seasonings and Oil
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil (or other neutral oil)
- 1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place two baking sheets inside the oven to warm while you prepare the vegetables, which helps ensure even roasting.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes and chopped onion. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with oil.
- Season the mixture: Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the potatoes and onions. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout.
- Roast the vegetables: Remove the preheated baking sheets from the oven and spread the potato and onion mixture evenly across them. Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning and flipping the vegetables halfway through to ensure all sides get nicely browned and cooked. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Final seasoning and serving: Once roasted to tender and golden, remove the baking sheets from the oven. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in smaller quantities if needed.
- Keep an eye on the roasting vegetables towards the end to avoid burning.
- These roasted sweet potatoes store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a gluten-free meal, ensure all seasonings used are certified gluten-free.
