Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) peeled and diced sweet potatoes (about 2 – 3 large sweet potatoes, depending on size)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) minced garlic (approximate from 1 head of garlic)
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (2 grams) thyme
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) salt
- ½ teaspoon (1 gram) pepper
- ½ teaspoon (1 gram) paprika
Oil:
- ¼ to ⅓ cup (60 to 80 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450°F (230°C), creating an optimal roasting environment for the sweet potatoes.
- Transfer diced sweet potatoes into a spacious glass baking dish, ensuring they are spread in a single layer for even cooking.
- Craft a robust seasoning blend by mixing garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, kosher salt, and smoked paprika in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potatoes, coating each piece thoroughly for maximum flavor infusion.
- Drizzle 1/4 to 1/3 cup (60 to 80 milliliters) of extra virgin olive oil across the potatoes, using tongs or a spatula to ensure uniform coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 55 to 65 minutes, rotating the potatoes every 20 minutes to prevent scorching and promote consistent caramelization.
- Approximately 15 minutes before the potatoes finish roasting, prepare the aromatic garlic and onion accompaniment by heating 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté minced garlic and diced onions for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they transform into a golden, soft, and fragrant mixture.
- Extract the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and gently incorporate the sautéed garlic and onions, mixing carefully to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Serve the sweet potato hash immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with fresh chopped herbs for an added layer of freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Customize olive oil quantity for desired crispiness without making the hash overly greasy.
- Ensure uniform sweet potato chunks for consistent cooking and texture throughout the dish.
- Experiment with pepper levels or add cayenne to amp up the spice, adjusting seasonings based on personal taste preferences.
- Monitor cooking duration carefully to prevent sweet potatoes from becoming mushy or overcooked.
- Enhance flavor and visual appeal by incorporating additional vegetables like bell peppers or jalapeños into the hash mix.
