Ingredients
  

  • 1 large onion yellow, white, or red
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 whole garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (200 C).
  • Prep vegetables: Wash sweet potatoes. Cut stems from the onion and then make a slice around the outside the onion to remove the top layer. Then cut the onion into rounds, or in half and then into slices. Cut the ends from sweet potatoes, then cut them into small 1/2 inch cubes for roasting (you do not need to peel them before roasting).
  • Roast vegetables: Arrange the cut sweet potatoes and onion on a roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil, tossing the vegetables to completely cover with oil and sprinkle with sliced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place sheet pan in the oven and roast for 35 minutes, stirring partway through to brown on all sides.
  • Serve vegetables: Remove pan from oven, arrange vegetables on a plate and serve as a side dish or let cool and use as a salad topping.

Notes

  • Tools needed: sheet pan, knife set, cutting board
  • Prep ahead: Wash and cut vegetables ahead of time to reduce prep time before cooking. If serving cold on salads or bowls, you can make this recipe up to three days ahead of time.
  • Leftovers and storage: Vegetables should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best taste and texture, do not freeze and reheat.
  • Nutrition notes: Nutrition information is estimated for only ingredients in the recipe, not the additional spice options given. This simple roasted vegetable recipe is a good source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
