Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized Murasaki Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the Murasaki Sweet Potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added nutrients and a rustic touch. Cut them into evenly sized wedges or cubes.
  • Coat with Olive Oil: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil until they are well coated.
  • Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the sweet potatoes, ensuring an even distribution.
  • Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  • Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  • Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme over the baked sweet potatoes for an extra burst of flavor.
