Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 2 – 3 large, depending on size)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) garlic, minced (approximate from 1 head)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup (60 to 80 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (5 g) onion powder
- 1 tsp (2 g) thyme
- 2 tsps (10 g) salt
- ½ tsp (1 g) pepper
- ½ tsp (1 g) paprika
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C), creating an ideal roasting atmosphere for sweet potatoes.
- Seasoning: Combine garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a mixing bowl, crafting a vibrant spice blend that will elevate the sweet potato’s natural flavor profile.
- Coating: Transfer diced sweet potatoes into a spacious glass baking dish, ensuring a single-layer arrangement, then generously dust with the spice mixture and drizzle extra virgin olive oil, thoroughly coating each potato piece using tongs for uniform distribution.
- Roasting: Position the baking dish in the preheated oven, roasting for 55 to 65 minutes and rotating potatoes every 20 minutes to promote consistent caramelization and prevent burning.
- Aromatics: Simultaneously, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, sautéing minced garlic and diced onions for 12 to 15 minutes until they transform into a golden, soft, and fragrant mixture.
- Finishing: Remove roasted sweet potatoes from the oven, gently fold in the sautéed garlic and onions, ensuring even flavor integration, and serve immediately while piping hot, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped herbs for an elegant touch.
Notes
- Optimize Potato Positioning: Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer to ensure each piece roasts evenly and develops a perfect caramelized exterior.
- Spice Blend Mastery: Create a balanced seasoning mix that penetrates deeply, transforming ordinary sweet potatoes into a flavor-packed dish.
- Rotation Is Key: Regularly turn potatoes during roasting to prevent burning and achieve uniform golden-brown coloration and consistent texture.
- Timing Precision: Watch closely during the last 15-20 minutes of roasting to capture the ideal crispy-yet-tender sweet potato hash consistency.
