How to Make Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

1. Prep the Ingredients
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash, peel, and slice the sweet potatoes thinly. Then, slice the shallot and chop the rosemary if using fresh.
2. Season the Potatoes
   In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, shallot, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Arrange in the Baking Dish
   Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in a baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Pour any remaining mixture over the top to enhance the flavors as they cook.
4. Bake
   Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
   Allow the potatoes to rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish is a flavorful, hearty addition to any meal.

What to Serve with Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

These rosemary sweet potatoes are delicious on their own but pair exceptionally well with other comforting sides and main dishes. Try serving them with The Best Mashed Potato Casserole or Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes for a mix of textures and flavors. For a lighter contrast, a Refreshing Cucumber Salad adds a fresh, crunchy bite that complements these savory potatoes perfectly.

Tips for Perfect Roasted Sweet Potatoes

• Slice Evenly: Thin, even slices ensure the potatoes cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Spread the potatoes in a single layer for optimal roasting. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
• Experiment with Herbs: If rosemary isn’t your favorite, try thyme or sage for a slightly different flavor profile.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigeration: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Reheating: To reheat, place the sweet potatoes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also use a skillet for a quick reheat with a bit of added crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these sweet potatoes ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the sweet potatoes and seasoning mixture a day in advance. Store the seasoned sweet potatoes in the fridge, and when you’re ready to bake, pop them in the oven.

Can I use yams instead of sweet potatoes?
Absolutely! Yams can be a good substitute if you prefer a milder flavor. Just be aware that the texture may differ slightly.

What can I use if I don’t have shallots?
Feel free to use a small onion as a substitute. The flavor will be slightly more intense, but it will still add a nice aromatic touch.

Can I make this dish vegan?
To make it vegan, simply replace the butter with more olive oil or a vegan butter substitute. The dish will still have that rich, delicious flavor!
