Prepare these simple roasted sweet potato rounds coated in a rich brown sugar glaze and finished with savory herbs. This recipe offers a flavorful side dish perfect for weeknight meals or holiday spreads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes into rounds approximately 1/2 inch thick. You do not need to peel them.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the sweet potato rounds on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat.
  5. Spoon the brown sugar and herb mixture evenly over the sweet potato rounds, ensuring both sides receive some glaze.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the rounds halfway through the cooking time, until they are tender and the edges are caramelized.
  7. Serve immediately as an easy sweet potato side dish.

Notes

  • For extra savory flavor, you can toss the roasted rounds with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven.
  • If your sweet potatoes are very large, cut them into wedges instead of rounds to ensure even cooking.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
