Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 271kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 head garlic excess paper peeled away, but keep the head intact
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary optional but recommended
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 400°F and set out a 9x13" or other large baking dish.
- Peel and slice sweet potatoes into roughly 1" pieces. Slice the garlic head in half horizontally so you have a top half and a bottom half.
Mix
- Add sliced potatoes to a large mixing bowl, then add olive oil and stir to combine.
- Add dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine again.
Bake
- Transfer sweet potatoes to baking dish and nestle the garlic halves into the potatoes. Rub a little olive oil over the exposed garlic halves. Add sprigs of rosemary.
- Bake in preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown and fork tender. If the potatoes or garlic are browning too quickly, you can cover loosely with foil.
Serve
- Discard roasted rosemary, and let the dish cool for a few minutes. Feel free to add additional fresh rosemary if you'd like.
Notes
- I've estimated this will serve approximately 4 people, but as always, the exact serving size is up to you.
