Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Garlic and Thyme

By [e-mail]

Healthy recipe from Rita Heikenfeld. Tried this a long time ago. Similar recipe to the recipe from GE that is titled Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Thyme that I just made (10/2018). This one might be a tad bit easier. I like that she suggests NOT peeling the sweet potatoes. That is a definite time saver! She also adds the garlic in vs. infusing the oil and uses more thyme. Roasting time is also a bit longer at a lower temperature.

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds (I wouldn't peel them!)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (I would use coconut oil or butter)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dry
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
