  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Cooking

Notes

Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer to ensure they caramelize properly. For extra texture, stir in toasted pumpkin seeds.
