Herb scented Hassleback sweet potatoes

Something a bit fun to try that I’ve done before with white potatoes.  But sweet potatoes are better for you nutritionally, and are often overlooked- at least in my saunter down the grocery aisle.  Most associate sweet potatoes to a side at Thanksgiving, and I think that’s my problem.  Growing up I was never a fan of the overly sweet dish, usual mashed, that was presented– and if anyone ever added marshmallows I avoided even the smallest of helpings.

The easy recipe here is inspired by one from multiple sources, and I cam up with this a favorite version. This is also a great main course for vegetarians.

Ingredients

Directions

1
Done

Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Line a small baking sheet with foil.

2
Done

Using a sharp knife, cut each sweet potato crosswise into 1/8 in [3 mm] slices, cutting only three-fourths of the way through the potatoes so they stay intact.

3
Done

Place the cut potatoes, sliced-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet.

4
Done

In between slices of potatoes, stuff in sage leaf in center in one cut and one rosemary sprig in next, alternating as you go along.

5
Done

Drizzle each potato with olive oil. I like to use squeeze bottle to get in between the slices of potato.

6
Done

Season with salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are browned on the outside and tender in the center, about 50 to 60 minutes.

7
Done

to grill

You can roast potatoes on a preheated grill as well, the same amount of time.

8
Done

Serve either room temperature or hot out of the oven.
