Excellent. I cook 40 min., then stir and cook another 10 min. Simple, and perfect with anything. Rosemary works well, too!

I made it for the first time tonight for myself and my daughter, and it was absolutely amazing. We both loved it. I made it exactly how the recipe is written, Delish!!! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!! I forgot to take a picture when it was in the baking dish, but here’s a picture of the leftovers (not much left over since it was SO GOOD!!)

The video was very helpful. So simple, but many of the best recipes are! I made smaller, bite-sized chunks and I omitted oregano, not a fan personally. The temp and timing were great though. Crisp and chewy corners, perfectly soft inside. Hub asked that we make this a regular in our vegetable rotation. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because I made minor adjustments.

Easy and foolproof. I now make this all the time!

I make them all the time. Super easy and delicious. I just throw them in a bowl and mix them around to ensure they are coated, add salt, pepper and oregano and they are perfection! People ADORE them
Mary Brown
Delicious. The family was asking for the recipe
Andrew Torres
No mods here, did it exactly as called for. Turned out amazing.

Made tonight, exactly as written in the instructions. Really good and a nice, simple go-to recipe for the future. Seems healthy too.

Delicious!

I made this tonight. It was surprisingly good! And such a welcome relief to sugary sweet potato recipes! A few things: I changed it to rosemary like many said. After eating it, I can’t imagine using oregano instead. I also followed another reviewers note to microwave the potatoes to soften them for easier peeling… and I nuked them too much. (I did 3 minutes, all 3 were still solid, so 3 minutes more – partly mushy and I burned my hand. Note: I did poke holes before nuking because you don’t want them to explode. ) tl;dr – They were good and I will make them again (with rosemary).

I cut up the potatoes very small and cooked even a little longer than the recipe called for and they were still a bit hard. I didn’t love the oregano flavor with them either. I wouldn’t make these again.
Sandra Zamora
Tried this following the recipe and thoroughly enjoyed it! I definitely will be making it again. Healthy and tasty!

next time use rosemary that is from a jar. the fresh , although taste is good, the large pieces I ate played havoc on my gut all night.
Robert Miller
So good! I cut the sweet potato into smaller pieces and cooked for 40min. Turned out perfect and the entire family loves it
Jacob Edwards
So perfectly excellent!
Debra Choi
I just use the oregano and olive oil and it’s delish. I do cut it into pieces or strips and then microwave it for whatever size potato it is and then either grill or cook in the oven for half the time and it turns out great and is done sooner. But is delish!
Krista Cook
Simple, healthy.
Randall Martin
Very good
Jonathan Williams
This was very good and easy. I lay them under a 6 lb chicken and roasted them together. They were fine though the they had to cook 2 hours. I sprinkled them with rosemary instead of oregano since thats what I was using in the chicken. I didnt like the slight sweet potato taste in the gravy. I think I would do them again like this.
