Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons ground rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or grass-fed butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Thoroughly wash your sweet potatoes. These bad boys are DIRTY things. I use a scrubby brush, and I am always shocked how much dirt comes off. *You can peel them if you'd like, but I love leaving the skin on*
  • Slice them into wedges 3/4-1" thick, and stick them in a large bowl.
  • Cover the bowl with cold water and ice cubes, and let the sweet potatoes sit for 20-30 minutes. Then, drain out the water and ice and pat the potatoes dry.
  • Melt the coconut oil or butter. Then cover and massage the sweet potatoes with the mixture.
  • Lay out the sweet potatoes on the parchment lined baking sheet, and sprinkle the spices on top of the wedges. I find if you try mixing the spices into the sweet potatoes with your hands, you end up with a lot of the herbs stuck in the bowl or on your hands.
  • Now, bake for 30-40 minutes or until brown and cooked through.
  • Let them cool and ENJOY THEM!

Notes

Serve these fresh out of the oven with your favorite paleo dip.
