Ingredients:

10 sweet potatos
1300g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1.10g
1/2 tsp paprika
1.05g
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
1/4 cup parsley
6g
4 garlic cloves
12g
3 onions
44g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-2 inch cubes for even cooking.
3. Season Sweet Potatoes:
In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato cubes. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add salt, black pepper, ground nutmeg, paprika, and cardamom. Toss well to ensure all the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
4. Roast Sweet Potatoes:
Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly browned around the edges. Stir halfway through roasting for even cooking.
5. Prepare Herb Mixture:
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the herb mixture. In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh parsley, chopped spearmint, and minced garlic.
6. Sauté Onions:
In a medium skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Combine and Toss:
Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Transfer them to a large serving bowl. Add the sautéed onions and the fresh herb mixture. Gently toss everything together to ensure the herbs and onions are evenly distributed among the sweet potatoes.
8. Serve:
Serve the herb tossed sweet potatoes warm, as a delightful side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Choose firm and unblemished sweet potatoes for the best results.

- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and spices according to your taste preference.

- For a crispier texture, you can bake the sweet potatoes in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, tossing them halfway through.

- If you prefer, you can also grill the sweet potatoes for a smoky flavor.
