I fell in love with sweet potatoes not too long ago. A sweet, savory, smooth yet crispy love (best in the form of baked fries). I'm happy that I prefer these over regular potatoes because they pack in more nutrients, especially vitamin A&C, unlike regular potatoes.The other day I realized I had a couple of sweet potatoes sitting in my refrigerator that I was starting to neglect, so I decided to make something quick before they went bad. I threw in some other ingredients that I had left over from my previous recipe and the results were awesome! This dish shows that it is sometimes best to limit yourself to a few ingredients in order to bring out the full flavors. Use this recipe for a side dish, meal, or even a snack. Enjoy!=)
Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Onions
Ingredients:
2 Sweet Potatoes
1/2-1 Red Onion
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper
1/8 Cup Feta Cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450F.
2. Chop up sweet potatoes into 1 in. thick pieces. Chop up onion as well (keep the pieces thick as they will shrink in the oven).
3. Add olive oil to pan and toss the sweet potatoes and onions to coat and lay them flat.
4. Sprinkle the vegetables with spices and put in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove pan from oven, flip the vegetables and add more spices.
6. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft and golden brown and the onions are crispy.
4. Throw everything together in a bowl, top with feta cheese, and dive in!
