THYME-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES



Thyme-Roasted Sweet Potatoes image

This slightly spicy, moist side dish is both deeply satisfying and nutritious. Sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates and fiber, giving them a low glycemic index (this means that they slow the body's absorption of sugar and help regulate blood-sugar levels). A bonus for weight watchers: All those complex carbs will make you feel fuller longer than white potatoes do.

THYME ROASTED SWEET POTATOES



Thyme Roasted Sweet Potatoes image

Sweet potatoes at their easiest! The potatoes slices need to be in single layer against the pan, not on top of one another. Great for a dinner party! Herbes de Provence with thyme or rosemary sprigs can be used instead of just thyme leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature with sprigs for garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are similar in size so they cook evenly.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Toss the sweet potato pieces with oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them cook through quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, and thyme during the last few minutes of roasting: This will help the glaze caramelize and adhere to the sweet potatoes.
  • Serve the roasted sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Balsamic honey thyme roasted sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
