Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Roasting vegetables makes them even tastier. Sweet potatoes are an excellent choice for this technique.

Ingredients

• 1 lb sweet potato, cubed
• Olive oil
• Salt or salt substitute 
• Pepper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450^o
• Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt/salt substitute, and pepper
• Spread on a rimmed baking sheet
• Cook until tender and browned -- about 35–45 minutes – and toss occasionally

Try different vegetable combinations such as butternut squash and shallots; or green beans, onions and fingerling potatoes. You can even put roasted vegetables and a little broth or water in the blender and make a delicious soup. Arthritis or shaky hands? Look for freshly cubed or chopped vegetables in your grocer’s produce section.
