Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato , peeled
  • 4 tsp olive oil , divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix all the spices together.
  • Rip off 4 sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each.
  • Slice and dice the sweet potato into smaller pieces. Divide the diced sweet potato into 4 sections.
  • Take one of the aluminum foil sheets, and put one section of the sweet potatoes onto the middle of it. Top the sweet potatoes with 1 tsp of olive oil and 1/4 of the spices. Fold up the sides of the aluminum foil and crumble the sides down on top, creating a closed pocket. (If my directions are confusing, the photos above could help).
  • Repeat this step with the other 3 sections of the sweet potatoes, putting 1 tsp of olive oil and 1/4 of the spices on the potatoes.
  • Put all 4 aluminum foil packets onto a cookie sheet and put them into the oven for 30 minutes. You'll know the potatoes are done when you can push a knife easily through the cubes of sweet potatoes.
  • Cook for 30 minutes. 30 minutes makes the sweet potatoes very soft, but if you want them to be harder, start checking them at around 25 minutes.
