Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2.5 pounds Sweet Potato
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon Dried Mixed Herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Herbs (such as thyme, parsley, rosemary)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables evenly.
  2. Prepare vegetables: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes and onion into 1-inch pieces for uniform cooking.
  3. Prepare garlic and herbs: Peel and mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh herbs for enhanced flavor.
  4. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, dried mixed herbs, fresh herbs, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer to baking dish: Place the mixture into a 13×9 inch rimmed baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil or a lid to retain moisture during initial cooking.
  6. Bake covered: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, allowing the potatoes to cook through properly.
  7. Uncover and continue roasting: Remove the cover and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes and onions turn golden brown. For extra charred flavor, use the broiler during the last 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish with additional fresh herbs and serve hot for the best taste.

Notes

  • If you prefer a more caramelized flavor, broil the vegetables at the end but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley work best for garnishing and in the mix.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings.
  • Leftovers reheat well in the oven or on the stovetop to maintain crispiness.
  • Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness that balances the savory herbs and garlic.
