Thyme Roasted Sweet Potatoes
A quick and easy recipe for thyme roasted sweet potatoes with goat cheese and dried cranberries
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup goat cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Peel and cube 2 large sweet potatoes. Something between "so tiny they will burn in five minutes" and "small enough that they won't take all night to cook" is good. Check out the photo.
- Put the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
- Slice a medium red onion.
- Add the onion to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Toss the sweet potatoes and onion in olive oil until coated.
- Put the sweet potatoes and onion onto a rimmed baking sheet. I use a slotted spoon to avoid big puddles of olive oil on the sheet. Anyone else think this could cause a fire? Just me?
- Sprinkle the sweet potatoes and onion with salt, pepper, and the 1/2 tsp of dried thyme.
- Bake until you can easily pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, about 20 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the baked veggies to a heat resistant dish.
- Sprinkle with the goat cheese crumbles and dried cranberries.
