Sweet potatoes make a bright addition to the table in the dark winter, and this is a fast way to put them there, without much work at all.
Sweet potatoes are chopped into thick sticks - don't even peel them! Then they are tossed with oil and rosemary and roasted into tender little sticks of sweet potato. They don't get crispy, like fried fries, but instead they're tender in the middle with some crunchy edges. Rosemary is just one seasoning idea - try tossing them with thyme, chili powder, or paprika.
I did this with butternut squash not too long ago.
I was just thinking about ways to use up my excess of rosemary--
This has been my favorite thing to eat all winter. I like a little kick of heat with mine. Lotsa chili powder for me!
I love, love, love all things sweet potato, and the fries top that list. I usually do mine in split batches - half savoury, with chili pepper (high-five JenPDX!) and cumin, and half sweet, with cinnamon and nutmeg and served with maple syrup. Absolutely delicious.
Oh I love love this... part of my signature series in the deep bleak days of winter! Miam, miam!!
This looks amazing!
