Used this recipe for one large sweet potato and 4 large carrots. Added a little extra pink salt when it was finished.

I’ve made this twice in a week. I love how they sweet potatoes caramelize and the subtle combo of flavors is perfect. I use my toaster oven, and cook at 425. I’m hoping to make this at Thanksgiving.

I’ve made this several times because it is quick, easy, and popular in my household. In the absence of fresh thyme I usually substitute about 1 1/2 tsp of dried, or whatever tastes good that day!
Nicole Jackson
So easy and so yummy.
Tammy Bryan
This was very good. I didn’t have fresh thyme because this was a spur of the moment side dish but dried thyme was very good as it softened in the oil. I didn’t cut the slices as thick which we really preferred. Super easy and definitely will make again . My hubs thought it was delicious. So simple and easy to put together.

Excellent as is

Not a fan of the sweet type of sweet potato dishes. So, this was right up my alley! Husband loved it as well. The only change I made was using dried crushed thyme, preserved from last summer’s herb plantings. Will definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe.

After we made this we tried this with rosemary and garlic instead of the thyme (because we had a surplus of rosemary and no thyme) and it was amazing!
Keith Campbell
These are very good! Sweet potatoes are one of my favorites, and it is so nice to have a different way to prepare them. Highly recommend this recipe!
Christopher Simmons
These were delectable! The slightly sweet of the potatoes the savory flavor of the thyme and the hint of hot from the red pepper were a perfect combination! Will definitely be making these again!
Karen Hamilton
I made it with fresh rosemary. Very flavorful. And I love garlic so I used 5 cloves with only 3 medium potatoes.
Shelby Johnson

I made this and it was awesome. Never had a sweet potato that didn’t add extra sweetness. I loved it and my parents and son did also. My husband doesn’t like sweet potatoes and this recipe did not change his mind any, I give it all stars anyway. Didn’t change a thing.
Christopher Peterson
This dish was delicious. The savory seasoning on the sweet potatoes was a delicious complement. My kids loved it as well!
Renee Meyer
I never had sweet potato before till now. It came out perfect, my girls just loved it. Will definitely make again.
Steven Grant
Simple but really delicious, this recipe has a great combination of flavors and is a big favorite in our house. I’ve made it many times. No tweaks required.
Matthew Wheeler
I didn’t have thyme so I used parsley. I would recommend flipping them half way through cooking so they don’t burn.
Natasha Mills
These were very tasty. I will definitely make these again. I did have a problem with baking time as at the 35 minute mark, I smelled burning. Oops! I am at high altitude so this may have been the reason (?) so next time I will bake at 30 minutes instead of 40 minutes or just adjust the temperature. Even with the blackened bottoms (my family forgave that) we all liked the way they tasted.
Paula Farrell
definitely make this recipe again!
Earl Stevenson
the garlic and thyme combo was delicious, but I really wasn’t expecting it to be so filling! I had 8 ready for a side dish for 3 people, and we couldn’t finish it! It was really delicious though, I will definitely make this amazing recipe again!
