Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Onions

This is one of the recipes I did in our last Yoga Center Menu for February.

 I just wanted a sweet counterpoint to the savory lasagna and other veggies, without recurring to my trusted ripe plantains…  They’re sweet but savory at the same time and loaded with beta carotene.  I made this recipe using 10lbs of sweet potatoes… and fed about 20 people.  You can definitely adjust to feed your smaller crowd.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH ONIONS

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes

1 large onion, sliced

Salt and Pepper to taste

Garlic salt, optional

Olive oil to coat

1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. 
2. In a baking sheet or roasting pan, place sweet potato pieces and onion slices.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Toss with your hands, until all pieces are coated with oil and seasonings.
3. Roast in oven for 40-45 minutes, moving sweet potatoes around about halftime.
4. Check the sweet potatoes for doneness before removing from oven.
