Sweet potato and herb crumble

Sweet Potato and Herb Crumble is a delightful dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a savory, herby crumble topping. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect as a side dish for holiday gatherings or a hearty, comforting meal for weeknights.

Ingredients:

4 sweet potatos
1000g
1/3 cup butter
70g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 cups bread crumbs
180g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
1 tbsp rosemary
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
- Place the sweet potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring water to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Drain well and set aside.
3. Prepare the Herb Crumble:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, and rosemary.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Pour the butter and garlic mixture over the bread crumb mixture. Mix well until the bread crumbs are evenly coated with the buttery herb mixture.
4. Assemble the Dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9x13 inches) with butter or cooking spray.
- Spread the cooked sweet potatoes evenly in the dish.
- Sprinkle the herb crumble mixture over the sweet potatoes, making sure it is distributed evenly across the top.
5. Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm as a comforting side dish or a vegetarian main course.

Tips:

- Ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly sized for uniform cooking.

- Finely mince the garlic to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the dish.

- Feel free to add other fresh herbs like thyme or sage to customize the flavor.

- For a crispy topping, use panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.

- If you prefer a richer flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the crumble topping.

- Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown for the best texture.

Serve your Sweet Potato and Herb Crumble warm, and enjoy the perfect harmony of sweet and savory flavors. This dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser and adds a unique twist to traditional sweet potato recipes.
