Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
- Toss with garlic butter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and salt. Add the sweet potato cubes and toss until every piece is evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Use salted butter if preferred, but reduce the added salt accordingly.
- Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
- Roasting time may vary slightly based on oven and sweet potato size.
