Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 purple sweet potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 small red onion, chopped into bite-sized pieces

Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon high smoke point cooking oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
  • Salt to taste
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting and achieving a crispy texture on the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Chop the purple sweet potatoes and red onion into bite-sized pieces to allow for even cooking and roasting.
  3. Toss with Oil: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with the high smoke point oil until evenly coated, which helps with roasting and adds flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the oiled vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even roasting and caramelization.
  5. Initial Bake: Bake the sweet potatoes and onions for 15 minutes to start the roasting process, softening the vegetables and beginning the browning.
  6. Toss and Continue Baking: Remove the baking sheet and toss the vegetables to ensure even cooking, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they reach your desired crispiness.
  7. Season and Garnish: Once roasted to perfection, season with salt to taste and garnish with fresh parsley or your preferred herbs before serving.

Notes

  • You can use other herbs like thyme or rosemary as garnish for additional flavor.
  • Make sure to cut sweet potatoes into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.
  • Using a high smoke point oil prevents burning at high oven temperatures.
  • For extra crispiness, spread vegetables out without overcrowding on the baking sheet.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
