Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Oven Roasted Sweet potatoes are my go-to favorite EASY meal.

Once you have your oven roasted sweet potatoes ready, add some arugula, kraut, olive oil, tahini, red onion, dulse, and salt. You will have a super simple, yummy, and gut friendly meal.

I love how simple and easy they are to throw in the oven.

I love to enjoy them as healthy comfort food.

Orange foods are great for our stomachs as well as digestion and a great gut maintenance carb source.

If you (or when I am) in a place of gut repair or microbiome recalibration then these may not be medicine for you body. There is a lot of glucose in these potatoes which could feed your unfriendly bacteria.

Ingredients

Organic Sweet Potatoes
Olive oil
Sea, Mountain, or River Salt to taste (listen to your body)
Arugala
Kraut
Red Onion
Dulse Seaweed Flakes
Tahini

Method

There are many ways to cook these potatoes.

Whole in the oven: (the simplest)

400* for 90 minutes.

Cut them in half: OR Slice them thin in wedges or rounds:

slice the insides 1/4 inch deep
slather the surface in olive oil
salt (mountain, sea, or river)
Add spices like cumin or curry (go heavier than you think)
add sprigs of rosemary or thyme (make sure to oil these too)
Bake in oven at 400* for 80 min (or until golden brown)

They cook and taste better if you take them out of the oven every 20 min or so to touch up the surfaces with oil from the oil on the pan. Rotate if they are cooking uneven also.
