Ingredients:

4 sweet potatos
520g
6 tsp dried thyme
16g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
4 garlic cloves
12g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.90g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces.
3. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, or if you prefer, you can mince them.
4. Season the Sweet Potatoes:
- In a large mixing bowl, place the sweet potato cubes.
- Add the dried thyme, salt, and red pepper to the bowl.
- Pour the olive oil over the sweet potatoes.
- Add the minced garlic.
5. Mixing:
- Using your hands or a large spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until the sweet potato cubes are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
6. Roasting:
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
7. Cooking Time:
- Roast the sweet potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown.
- Halfway through roasting (around 15 minutes), take the baking sheet out and stir the sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking.
8. Serving:
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.

Tips:

- Cut your sweet potatoes into even pieces to ensure they roast evenly.

- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal crispiness.

- Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil and spices in a large bowl for even coating.

- For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Check for doneness by piercing with a fork - they should be tender inside and slightly crispy on the edges.

- Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
