Here is a super simple, but tasty combination to use as a side dish. We love it and hope you do as well. It is sweet potatoes, pan roasted in the oven, with onions.
First, we chopped/diced up some sweet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes, bite size, I think we used about 4 medium sized sweet potatoes for this.
Then we sliced up some onions, 2 mediums here. You can leave them in rings. Toss it all with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste (we put a dash of red pepper flakes on occasion).
Roast them in a preheated, 400 degree oven, for about 15 minutes, depending on your oven. Just keep an eye on them. The small dice will make the sweet potatoes cook quickly and the onion "rings" will also brown up quickly.

Dish them out onto a plate and serve! The sweetness of the potatoes and the caramelized onions are a great combination. It's a quick dish to put together, simple but memorable.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Healthy and pleasing to the eye.

ReplyDeleteO.M.G.!!!!! We have missed you! I really need to do the Facebook thing, ha. I will catch up on your FB page. Thanks so much for stopping in, fabulous wishes for an awesome 2015 to you. And no, we don't have the outdoor dining area yet, but I'm working on it! :-)
DeleteWow, I have to make this for my Dad. He just became diabetic and can't have white potatoes but can have sweet potatoes, go figure!
ReplyDeleteOh, this would be great for him. I've heard sweet potatoes are better for blood sugar than regular white potatoes. Hope he likes it!
DeleteOh, I wish I had seen this recipe *before* I went shopping! Looks delicious!

LOL, but at least you know for next time, ha.
DeleteSounds really good and I have 3 pounds of Sweet potatoes that need to be used immediately. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy, it sounds like an odd combination but it's yummy!
DeleteGrowing up, we never had "sweet" sweet potatoes, just savory. Like cooked with a beef roast. No one else seems to like this idea. This combination is ver appealing to me. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteYay, hope you like it. I understand, some people only think of them as something super sweet with marshmallows all over the top, ha.
DeleteThis sounds wonderful!........YUM! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it really is good. Hope you enjoy it!!
DeleteMy Family would like these. I bake them in the oven whole, just like you would do baking potatos and they like that quite well. No added sugar or marshmallows that way.
ReplyDeleteWill give this a try. Sure look good.
Coming from someone who cooks the wonderful recipes you do, thank you for that! Enjoy!!
DeleteThis looks so good - and healthy too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, yep, I'm guessing it's pretty healthy...
