recipe:
2 sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch thick coins
1 onion, quartered then cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
1/2 tsp. sea salt (or more or less to taste)
lots of freshly ground black pepper
optional: additional seasonings (see note below)
directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with a spoon until vegetables are evenly-coated.
Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and spray with cooking spray. Transfer vegetables to the baking sheet, and spread so that they are evenly spaced in a single layer. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until onions begin to crisp and brown, and sweet potatoes are cooked through.
Tip:
Here are some other fun variations to choose from:
- toss with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar (when tossing with the olive oil)
- toss with various seasonings before roasting
- Italian seasonings (oregano, thyme, parsley, rosemary, etc.)
- smoked paprika
- chipotle and/or chile powder and cumin
after roasting, top with…
- chopped fresh parsley
- toasted slivered almonds
- freshly-grated Parmesan
