Say hello to my new favorite side dish (and Mitchâs). Or at least they better be his new favorite considering heâs eaten about 75% of the last two batches Iâve made. I canât blame him and I honestly wish I could eat as many potatoes as he can. Theyâre easy, flavorful, nutritious and seem to go with just about anything.
To make this recipe, roughly chop your sweet potatoes (no precise cubes here), your herbs and your garlic and add everything to a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil. add salt and pepper, stir and youâre ready to bake.
Pop in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and soft, and you have a very impressive side dish. Not only will your house smell amazing, but the potatoes taste even better. SO good, and so worthy of guests and company.
This healthy side dish will become your new favorite, too. And, I promise kiddos (and babies - hello finger foods) will jump on the Vitamin A-rich sweet potato band wagon after giving these a try. Enjoy!

Since I eat mostly Paleo, sweet potatoes are on the meal plan A LOT. I pretty much always just toss them with EVOO, salt, and garlic powder. It gets boring pretty fast. I will have to try this! It looks awesome!
