Roasted sweet potatoes with rosemary is a feast for all the senses – it's visually appealing, scented with the warm essence of rosemary, and, most importantly, delicious.
In a pot filled with salted cold water, place the sweet potato cubes and smashed garlic cloves and 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.

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.
