Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 6 sweet potatoes or yams
• 5-6 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Thyme or rosemary
• 4 teaspoons date syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Wash and dry the potatoes and boil them, covered, in a big pot for about 20 minutes, until a skewer goes in and out easily.

3. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Use your knife to score the sweet potato flesh in a grid pattern, cutting down to the skin but not through it.

4. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme and date syrup.

5. Bake 30 minutes until golden brown.
