Garlic Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipes

GARLIC-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• In a small baking dish, combine the sweet potatoes and garlic. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until tender, stirring every 10 minutes.

ROASTED GARLIC SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork or the tip of a paring knife; set aside. Cut off the top of the heads of garlic to expose the cloves, trimming about 1/4 inch off of the top of each clove. You may need to trim individual cloves along the sides of each head. Brush the cut cloves with the olive oil, then nestle each head into a piece of aluminum foil.
• Place the sweet potatoes and garlic cloves directly on the oven racks. Bake for about 1 hour, removing the sweet potatoes once they have softened, and removing the garlic heads once they are tender and nicely browned.
• Peel the sweet potatoes, and place into a mixing bowl. Squeeze the individual garlic cloves into the bowl, then add the butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and cayenne pepper. Mash until smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Scrape the mashed potatoes into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, and return to the oven for about 15 minutes to reheat.

• Toss the potato pieces with olive oil, half of the rosemary, and salt and pepper.
• Bake for 20 minutes, tossing occasionally in order to crisp the outsides.
• Toss with the garlic and remaining rosemary and continue to bake until the potatoes are soft on the inside, about 15 minutes more.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND GARLIC WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.\ Arrange the sweet potatoes and garlic in a shallow flameproof baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add just enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring the water to a boil over medium high heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• In a baking dish, combine the oil and butter and melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from the heat, add the potatoes and garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast on the lowest rack of the oven, turning them occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a heated serving bowl and serve at once.
