    Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary

    Sweet potatoes have a history as colorful and diverse as their flesh – ranging from orange to purple. Indigenous to Central and South America, this root vegetable has traveled the world to become a staple in many cuisines. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, sweet potatoes provide antioxidants that help protect your body's cells. They also offer a lower glycemic index than regular white potatoes, making them a favorite among those watching their blood sugar levels.

    The marriage of the slightly sweet, earthy flavor of sweet potatoes with the aromatic, piney flavor of rosemary is a match made in heaven, for both your palate and your health. Rosemary contains compounds that are believed to boost the immune system and improve digestion. Together, they create a sumptuous dish that's as good for you as it is delicious.

    To transform your roasted sweet potatoes into a well-rounded meal, consider these inspired pairing ideas. For an autumnal feast, match the sweet potatoes with a juicy, Pork Loin with Paprika. For a vegetarian delight, consider serving your roasted sweet potatoes alongside a Raw Kale Salad.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 3 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 35 minutes

    • 1 lb sweet potatoes or yams, cut into 1 inch cubes
    • 1 large sprig rosemary, leaves picked
    • 3 tablespoon cooking fat
    • 5 cloves garlic, skin still on, but smashed
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary

    Preheat your oven to 425 F.

    In a pot filled with salted cold water, place the sweet potato cubes and smashed garlic clovesand bring to a roiling boil. As soon as it boils, drain the potatoes in a colander and let steam and dry a bit in it. Discard the garlic.

    Meanwhile, using a mortar and pestle, grind the rosemary leaves somewhat.

    Heat a roasting pan on the stove top on a medium-low heat, add the fat, rosemary, sweet potato cubes and season with salt and pepper. Without cooking, mix everything well together.
