SAUTEED SWEET POTATOES

Found myself at another house making dinner for three children. There were NO vegetables, fresh or otherwise, (they had just moved in) but I found two large sweet potatoes. I was told that they were not liked, but I needed a veggie.....so this came about.... nice and soft inside, crispy outside.

Holidays are coming and here is yet another sweet potato recipe. The thyme, garlic and red pepper gives great flavor to the sweet potatoes. Instead of olive oil try using Pam or No Oil. Just spray the slices on both sides then shake them in the zip lock bag with the herbs. Use Yams if you prefer.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus a few sprigs for garnish
2 small cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss the sweet-potato rounds with olive oil, thyme, garlic, red pepper, and salt.
Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, garnish with thyme sprigs, and place in oven. Roast until tender and starting to brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a platter, and serve.

Tips:

For perfectly tender-crisp sweet potatoes, aim for 1/2-inch cubes. Smaller cubes will overcook and become mushy, while larger cubes will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the sweet potatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than brown.
Use a large skillet or griddle to ensure that the sweet potatoes have enough space to spread out and cook evenly.
Season the sweet potatoes generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
Add your favorite herbs and spices to the sweet potatoes for extra flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
Don't stir the sweet potatoes too often while they are cooking. This will prevent them from getting crispy and will make them more likely to break apart.
Serve the sweet potatoes immediately after they are cooked. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sautéed herbed sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try!
