This is one of our favorite weeknight side dishes at The Olive Scene!

Ingredients:

  • 2 sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/8” thick coins, or chopped into 1/2" pieces

  • 1 onion, quartered then cut into ½” slices, or into large pieces

  • 1-2 tablespoons The Olive Scene bold Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, to taste

  • lots of freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.

  2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

  3. Toss to coat evenly, separating the potato slices as needed.

  4. Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, for easy clean up.

  5. Transfer vegetables to the baking sheet, and spread in a single layer.

  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until onions begin to crisp and brown, and sweet potatoes are cooked through.

  7. Optional: for extra color and crispness, you can put the pan under your broiler for a few minutes.

Variations:

This recipe is so versatile! You can use your favorite spice blend, seasoned salt, or chili paste/flakes.

  • Used a fused or infused olive oil for a change in flavor: Chipotle or Harissa Olive Oil for spiciness; Gremolata or Rosemary for herbed flavor; Blood Orange or Persian Lime Olive Oils for a hint of citrus. 

  • Drizzle a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar on the vegetables after cooking: Cinnamon Pear, Vermont Maple, and Vanilla Balsamic Vinegars are favorites.

  • Add grated Parmesan or feta cheese, toasted nuts, or fresh herbs before serving.
