Description

Perfectly caramelized sweet potatoes with a savory garlic seasoning, creating a simple yet delicious side dish that’s both nutritious and flavorful. The natural sweetness of the potatoes pairs beautifully with the aromatic seasonings for an irresistible combination.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sweet potatoes, halved lengthwise (500 grams)
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven: Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. This preparation ensures even cooking and makes cleanup easier. The high temperature will help caramelize the natural sugars in the sweet potatoes.
  2. Season the Potatoes: Rub sweet potato halves with olive oil, then season on all sides with salt and garlic seasoning. Make sure to coat evenly so the seasonings can penetrate the sweet potatoes while roasting, enhancing their natural flavor.
  3. Roast to Perfection: Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and bubbling with caramelization. You’ll know they’re done when a fork easily pierces the flesh and the edges have started to turn golden brown with a slight crisp.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving for a sweet variation.
  • These roasted sweet potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
  • Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, making this not just delicious but also nutritious.
