Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved if extra long
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme (or your favorite herb blend)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, combine the cubed sweet potatoes and trimmed green beans.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Using your hands or tongs, toss the vegetables thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized, and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Serve warm as a delicious and healthy side dish.
