A few weeks ago, a friend of mine named Erica decided to launch a quarantine cooking challenge with some of her friends online. Each week she picks one ingredient, and it is up to us as her followers to create a unique dish from the ingredient of the week. So this week, she decided to combine rosemary, nutmeg and sweet potatoes!

Since I am trying to get back on track with meal prepping and low carb dishes, I thought a healthy version of this ingredient would be to roast the sweet potatoes! When it comes to roasting vegetables, one of my favorite techniques is to simply season them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and then throw a bunch of herbs at the pan! The salt and the herbs typically bring out the best in any vegetable! Today I only had a few fresh herbs on hand, so I improvised a bit, but loved the end result so much, I decided to post this recipe as a keeper! I hope you enjoy!
Roasted Rosemary Nutmeg Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp herbs de provence seasoning
- 1 tsp pepper
- .5 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F
- Peel the skin off of your sweet potatoes. Slice the top and bottom ends off of the sweet potatoes, and slice your potatoes in half. Cut the potatoes vertically and horizontally until you create 1/2 inch cubes.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil, rosemary, herbs de provence, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and starting to brown around the edges. (I like mine a bit crispy, so I allowed them to cook for 45 minutes) Remove pan from oven and enjoy!
