    Thyme Roasted Sweet Potatoes: From Thanksgiving to Weeknights

    13
    By Alisa Fleming on November 22, 2017 Alisa's Recipes, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    These thyme roasted sweet potatoes were a popular side dish that I made for the first Thanksgiving we hosted. They’ve since become a weeknight favorite, too.

    Thyme Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipe - naturally healthy, dairy-free, vegan, paleo and allergy-friendly

    Until I was well into my 20’s, I thought I hated sweet potatoes. My only experience with this orange-fleshed starch was via canned candied yams topped with marshmallows. But when I discovered the natural sweetness of unadulterated sweet potatoes, I was hooked!

    And unlike most sweet potato casseroles, these thyme roasted sweet potatoes are a naturally delicious way to enjoy root vegetables. The higher heat baking combined with the salt and herbs actually helps to enhance the sweetness and flavor depth of the sweet potatoes.

    I originally adapted this recipe from Epicurious. But these days, I typically use garlic powder to keep the recipe low-FODMAP, and because minced garlic can burn more easily at higher temperatures. If you prefer a slower bake with less browning, you can bake these at 375ºF for about 40 minutes.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Serves: 6 Servings
    Ingredients
    • 2½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in to ¾-inch chunks
    • 3 tablespoons extra-light olive oil (or your favorite baking oil)
    • ¼ cup fresh thyme leaves (can sub 4 teaspoons dried thyme)
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced (can sub ¼ teaspoon garlic powder)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    2. Put the sweet potatoes, oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl and toss to evenly coat the sweet potatoes.
    3. Dump the sweet potatoes onto your prepared baking sheet and spread them into a single layer. It's best if the chunks aren't quite touching.
    4. Bake for 20 minutes. Stir the sweet potatoes and spread them back out. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until roasted to your liking.

      I LOVE sweet potatoes and my oldest and I could eat them every day! Thyme and rosemary are my two favorite herbs to use on sweet potatoes.
